Masood-ul-Hasan (born 22 December 1945) is a former cricketer who played first-class cricket for several teams in Pakistan between 1961/62 and 1977/78. He toured Australia and New Zealand in 1964/65 but did not play Test cricket.
An off-spin bowler and useful lower-order batsman, Masood-ul-Hasan made his first-class debut at the age of 15, taking 6 for 60 in the first innings for Karachi Greens against Karachi Whites in a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match in November 1961.[1] He was selected to play for Pakistan against a Commonwealth XI team in 1963-64, and visited Ceylon with a Pakistan A team in 1964/65, but with little success either time.
He toured Australia and New Zealand in 1964/65 with the Pakistan Test team but played in only five of the 14 first-class matches and none of the Tests. He bowled only 238 balls on the three-month tour, taking two wickets.[2]
He hit his highest score of 97 in the final of the Quadrangular Tournament in 1968/69, helping Pakistan International Airlines win the first of their many championships.[3] His best innings bowling figures were 6 for 40 for Pakistan International Airlines A against Rawalpindi in 1971/72,[4] and his best match figures were 11 for 99 (5 for 56 and 6 for 43) for Pakistan International Airlines B against Railways in 1969-70.[5]
