Hamza Tariq is a tidy wicket-keeper and a hard-hitting lower-order batsman. He was included in the World Cup squad essentially as cover behind the stumps for Ashish Bagai, who has persistent knee trouble. Tariq comes from the Under-19 team, though even there his opportunities were limited as he was back-up wicket-keeper to Rustam Bhatti.
Strengths
Tariq is aggressive with the bat and scores his runs quickly.
