Khurram Khan is a United Arab Emirates cricketer who has played two One Day Internationals for the United Arab Emirates.
Education
Despite Khurram"s performances, the United Arab Emirates finished fifth at the tournament, and failed to qualify for the 2003 World Cup. Khurram was named captain for the Interstate Commerce Commission Six Nations Challenge in March 2004, a qualifier tournament for the Interstate Commerce Commission Champions Trophy, and though Khurram was once again leading wicket-taker for the United Arab Emirates, the team finished fifth on Netto run rate, coming last after four other teams on points.
Career
In 2014, Khurram became the oldest player to score an ODI hundred as his unbeaten 132 helped his team to a six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in Dubai. He has been playing for the United Arab Emirates since 2001 when he turned out for the team at the 2001 Interstate Commerce Commission Trophy in Canada where he played ten games over the course of the two-week tournament. With 243 runs over eight innings, Khurram had the highest batting average of the United Arab Emirates team with 60.75, though Ahmed Nadeem and Arshad Ali both made more runs.
He also bowled the most for United Arab Emirates, taking 19 wickets in his 95 overs, at a bowling average of 13.52 - taking joint third-most wickets of the tournament, behind Roland Lefebvre and Soren Vestergaard.
Khurram was retained as captain for the 2004 Asia Cup, however, where the United Arab Emirates took on the Test nations of India and Sri Lanka. They were eliminated after two group stage matches, though Cricinfo claimed that he and his fellow team-mates "bowled with plenty of discipline and control" in the first match against India, and "a maturity far beyond their experience" in the second match.
Khurram got one wicket in his first match, with the last ball of a ten-over spell, and took four for 32 in ten overs against Sri Lanka, including the top scorer of the innings Avishka Gunawardene who lofted a catch to the deep for 73. He was the leading bowler as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 239, but only contributed with eight runs in the chase as United Arab Emirates were bowled out for 123 and knocked out of the tournament.
Khurram has played four matches at the Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup, three in 2004 and one in 2005, scoring 329 runs with four fifties and taking eight wickets.
He has not been the leading wicket-taker in that tournament, with Ali Asad outperforming him with 35 scalps in five matches. After bowling eight overs without a wicket at the Dutch batsmen, Khurram was dismissed for six in the United Arab Emirates"s total of 142, and the United Arab Emirates lost by 143 runs to miss out on a World Cup berth. Three months later, Khurram had to declare himself unavailable for the semi-final of the 2005 Intercontinental Cup, with Arshad Ali captaining the side in his place.
He scored his only ODI century of 132* against Afghanistan.
With this century, he became the oldest ever player to score a ODI century at the age of 43, passing Sri Lanka"s Sanath Jayasuriya, who scored his final century when he was at 39 years of age. In June 2015, following the United Arab Emirates"s defeat to Ireland in the 2015-2017 Interstate Commerce Commission Intercontinental Cup, Khurram announced his retirement from international cricket.
