  Mushtaq Ahmed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mushtaq Ahmed (Urdu: مشتاق احمد) (born 28 June 1970 in Sahiwal) is a Pakistani cricketer, more specifically a leg spin bowler.
In 2003, Mushtaq was the leading wicket taker in county cricket, finishing the season with 103, and inspiring Sussex to the First Division Title.
In the 2004 season, Mushtaq was again the leading wicket taker in English county cricket with 84 scalps, but with Danish Kaneria's emergence as Pakistan's first-choice leg spinner, Mushtaq looks unlikely to play for Pakistan's national side again.

In the new appeal, Mushtaq Ahmed contended that he could not be sentenced to death under the Air Force Act as he was not a regular employee of the air force and that during the inquiry no legal proof had been established for involvement in the crime.
Mushtaq Ahmed, who had escaped from the custody during trial but arrested last year from the motorway, was convicted for inciting six former PAF junior officers, chief technician Khalid Mehmood, senior technician Karam Din, Corporal technician Nawazish Ali and junior technicians Niaz Mohammad, Adnan Rasheed and Nasrullah.

 Is Mushtaq Ahmed the 'secret weapon' Pakistan is looking for
It could be said that Mushtaq has been a victim of the vagaries of Pakistan cricket selection, but for some years he hasn't really done anything substantial for his country at the international level and not done himself any good by producing one mediocre performance after another.
All eight wickets were, incidentally, captured by Saqlain Mushtaq but he bowled as many as 74 overs for this return and conceded 164 runs.
Mushtaq had figures of 0-132 from 44 overs and, although he picked up a wicket in the second innings, he was discarded for the rest of the rubber, his place going to debutant leg-spinner Danish Kaneria who has since developed into Pakistan's frontline slow bowler with a bundle of wickets to his credit.
