Usman Qadir mulling a move out of Pakistan

Usman Qadir, the son of former Pakistan legspinner Abdul Qadir, may migrate to Australia or South Africa to pursue his cricket career. The 22-year old has been weighing his options considering the last time he played in the Pakistan domestic circuit was in 2014.

Qadir spent the last summer playing club cricket in Cape Town. Prior to that, he had won a call-up from South Australia in 2013 to play in the interstate second XI competition. Qadir's stint with the Redbacks, however, was cut short when he was caught in a car accident and had to return home.

Qadir, also a legspinner, has played two Under-19 World Cups for Pakistan and became a centrally contracted player in 2010. In 2012, he took a five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka Under-23s in the ACC Emerging Players tournament in Singapore and was poised to make the senior team for a limited-overs tour of West Indies in 2013. Pakistan wanted new faces into the team following a dismal Champions Trophy, but eventually Qadir was left out.
