Arshad Khan is the most unorthodox spinner one could ever witness. Tall and lanky bowler and hailing from Peshawar - a breeding ground of fast bowlers- Arshad is a steady, generally restrictive bowler, reliant on more on bounce and less on turn.

Although a consistent performer in the domestic circuit, his career on the international circuit has never really taken off. In fact he got his first break in a Test match, four years after his ODI debut.

Belonging to the second generation of spinners after Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed, he does not possses the conventional 'decieving' art of spin.

Although his chances at Test level may be limited , he will remain an option for the ODI side, especially with the introduction of the Supersub rule.
