Batsman hit two centuries in Championship match last weekHameed made early
England bow, but then sacked by LancsWhen Haseeb Hameed registered his second century of the match for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship game against Worcestershire last week, film showed a dressing room bursting with pleasure. It was not confined to the players; all round the country affection bubbles for a young man treated most unkindly by the cricketing gods.
Plucked for the 2016 tour of
India as a 19-year-old after an impressive season with Lancashire, Hameed impressed everyone from his teammates to Virat Kohli. But a succession of injuries and a baffling lack of form meant he was first dropped, then sacked, by Lancashire, a move that precipitated a new start at Trent Bridge.
