Syed Asif Masood Shah (Template:Langx; born 23 January 1946) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 16 Test matches and 7 One Day Internationals from 1969 to 1977.[1] He was educated at Islamia College Lahore.
His best Test was against England at Birmingham in 1971, when he took 5 for 111 and 4 for 49.[2] This performance led to his selection for the Rest of the World team in Australia in 1971–72.
He would begin his run-up with a backward step before a loping approach to the wicket which John Arlott likened to "Groucho Marx chasing a pretty waitress".[3]
Retiring from cricket in 1977, after marrying in the UK, Asif Masood became a successful businessman, owning first a travel agency then a post office in Bury, Lancashire.[4] He currently resides in Bury with his wife and four children.
