Aasif Karim

Aasif Yusuf Karim is a former member of Kenya national cricket team. Of Indian ancestry, Karim made a reputation for himself as a useful lowerorder batsman but predominantly as a leftarm spinner, frequently said to be one of the best outside the Testplaying nations. Karim also holds the unique distinction of having captained his country in both representative cricket and tennis competition. Karim retired from international cricket following the 1999 World Cup in England but was persuaded to return to add experience to Kenyas squad for the 2003 World Cup in South Africa where he helped Kenya become the first nonTest match playing nation reach the semifinals of the World Cup. During the Super Sixes match against Australia, Karim gave the Australians a scare with figures of 8.2673 and collecting Manofthematch honours. He lost in his last ODI, the World Cup Semi Final against India. Karim announced at the end of the tournament that he would be retiring, this time for good.
