Gul Khan

Gul Abbass Khan (born 31 December 1973) is a Pakistani-born former cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and leg spin bowler who played for Oxford University and Derbyshire in a two-year first-class career. Life Khan was born in Gujrat, Pakistan. Having moved to England, he attended Ipswich School and Swansea University, and then did a one-year postgraduate course at Keble College, Oxford.

Khan played second XI cricket for Essex from 1991 to 1995. He played first-class and List A cricket for Oxford University and British Universities during the early part of the 1996 season and, according to Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, made a significant impact. "Gul Khan... revealed himself as a natural strokeplayer, and his arrival injected much adventure into the middle order. After several near-misses, he fashioned a maiden first-class century against Kent at Canterbury, which followed a brilliant 147 for the British Universities against Glamorgan in the Benson and Hedges Cup." At the end of the university season in mid-summer, he joined Derbyshire. During two seasons at Derbyshire, Khan played four County Championship matches and 22 List A matches.
