Jimmy Hansra is the consummate utility cricketer. He has no set place in the batting order and his offspin is whimsically employed - from being ignored completely to actually being used to open the bowling for Canada. He is a feisty character on the field and always seems to enjoy himself. He can hit the ball hard and has a particularly good hook shot, but Hansra has yet to demonstrate that he can play anything other than a swishy cameo.
Strengths
Though he plays as a batsman, Hansra's value to the team lies in his underutilised bowling. He can be miserly in giving away runs and can pick up wickets too.
