A tall, hard hitting opening batsman who has represented Pakistan in 9 one day internationals. Nasir is an entertaining, fluent and very easy on the eye batsman who doesnt mind hitting the ball over the top of the infield especially during the power plays.

He has come through the ranks at under 15 and under 19 level and impressed the selectors with his performances for National Bank especially in 2007/08 season where he scored 800 runs in ten Quaid-e-Azam Trophy matches with the help of three centuries and was selected to play for the Patron's XI side that took on the touring Zimbabweans. A 182 off only 240 deliveries was enough for his name to be shortlisted for the 15-probables for the ODI series.

Nasir was selected for the 5 match one day series in UAE against Australia but had to return home due to injury. He was not selected for the Twenty / 20 World Cup squad and fitness concerns continue to hamper his progress.

Nasir is certainly one for the future as he competes with the likes of Khurram Manzoor and Salman Butt for the opening slot in the one day team.
