Hamid Hassan Mohmand (Pashto حميد حسن مومند), (born June 1, 1987 in Nangarhar Province Afghanistan) is a first-class cricketer who is a right-arm fast bowler in the Afghanistan national cricket team. He has also played for the Marylebone Cricket Club, MCC Young Cricketers and Pakistan Customs and has a very imposing figure standing at 6 feet 5 inches tall.

Early life and careerDespite there being no history of cricket in his family and not having even played the game until he left school, at 22 years old he looked like a highly promising quick bowler and has received high praise from MCC men such as Mike Gatting and John Stephenson. Hassan began playing Cricket in 2001 and can reputedly bowl over 140 km/h. With proper facilities and training, some say Hassan could be up there with the best bowlers in the world.

He picked up four wickets to limit Jersey to 80 in 39.5 overs in the final of the Pepsi ICC WCL Division 5 event. He also picked 3-19 against Italy and 4/22 against Fiji in the Pepsi ICC WCL Division 4 finishing the event as the leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets.

Hassan made his Twenty20 International debut in the Sri Lanka Associates T20 Series against Ireland, which Afghanistan lost by 5 wickets. Later in February 2010 Hasan represented the Afghanistan side in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, where Hasan helped lead Afghanistan to three wins in Group A. In Afghanistan's final Group A match, a victory by 29 runs over the United States, Hasan took his best Twenty20 figures to date of 3/14. At present Hasan is the tournaments leading wicket taker with 8 wickets at a bowling average of 8.12. Hassan was later named in Afghanistan's squad for the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.

Hasan was a key member of Afghanistan's 2010 ACC Trophy Elite winning squad. In Afghanistan's first match in the tournament, against Bhutan, he took figures of 6/18 from 7.2 overs. Later in the tournament, Hassan saved Afghanistan from the jaws of defeat against Malaysia by taking figures of 5/44 from 10 overs.

2010 ICC World Twenty20Hasan played both of Afghanistan's matches against in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20. In their first group match against India, he claimed figures of 1/8 from 3 overs, with the solitary wicket of Murali Vijay as India won by 7 wickets.In Afghanistan's second match against South Africa, he claimed figures of 3/21 from 4 overs. His wickets were those of Jacques Kallis, JP Duminy and Mark Boucher. In Afghanistan's reply, he came in with the score on 32/8 and helped Afghanistan to post a score of 80 all out by sharing in a 33 run partnership with Mirwais Ashraf and a 15 run partnership for the last wicket with Shapoor Zadran, before Hasan himself was dismissed for 22 (1 four, 2 sixes) by Charl Langeveldt to hand South Africa a 59 run victory.

Success in first-class cricket During Afghanistan's tour of Scotland in August 2010, Hasan took his maiden five wicket haul in first-class cricket during the Intercontinental Cup match. In Scotland's first innings he took 6/50 and in their second innings he took 5/114, which also gave him his maiden ten wicket haul in a match.Afghanistan went on to record a 229 run win.

In the following Intercontinental Cup match against Kenya, Hasan was instrumental in orchestrating Kenya's collapse during their first innings, as he took figures of 5/70, including the wicket of David Obuya from the 2nd ball of the match. In Kenya's second innings, he again took another five wicket haul, this time figures of 6/87, as he wrapped up Afghanistan's victory on day four by dismissing Kenya from their overnight position of 324/6 to 344 all out, handing Afghanistan a 167 run victory.

Hassan was man of the match in the final of the competition against Scotland. This was awarded to him on the basis of his bowling figures of 5/45 in Scotland's second innings and 3/39 in their second, crucially helping restrict them to 82 in that innings and therefore setting up what would become a 7 wicket victory for the Afghans.
