(born
7 February 1972 in
Reading, Berkshire ) is an
English Cricketer . He is a stylish batsman, but his bowling is almost non-existent.
Habib made his
First-class debut in
1992 , playing once for
Middlesex , but was quickly let go and it was
1995 before he played another first-class game, for his new county,
Leicestershire . Although he made 174 not out against
Oxford University that year it was
1996 before Habib established himself in the first team. He played a few games for
New Zealand side
Canterbury in the
1997 /
98 Shell Cup One-day competition, but made only 83 runs in his five innings.
He
Averaged 56 in
1998 and was chosen by
England the following year, but was quickly found out by the
New Zealand bowlers and dropped after two
Tests . He did, however, have the consolation of passing 1000 runs for the first time that season. After the
2001 season Habib left for
Essex , but had an indifferent three seasons with the club and was released. He struggled to find another county, and at one point it looked as though his career might be at an end, but somewhat surprisingly he returned to Leicestershire for the
2005 season.
Habib's cousin Zahid Sadiq played seven matches for
Surrey and one for
Derbyshire between
1988 and
1990 .
