Arsalan Anwar (born 4 November 1986) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played two first-class matches for Sialkot during the 2007–08 season. He is better known for his performance in international underage matches, having scored a century in his single Test innings for the Pakistani national under-19 side.
Born in Sialkot, Punjab, Arsalan made his debut for the Sialkot District under-19s in July 2003, aged 16. A right-handed batsman, he performed well in the 2003–04 Inter-Region Tournament, with consecutive innings of 88 not out and 99 against Quetta and Multan. In the same tournament the following season, he had a run of six consecutive half-centuries – 66 and 54* in a three-day match against Rawalpindi, 67* in a one-dayer against Faisalabad, 123 and 84* in a three-day match against the same team, and finally 112 in a three-day match against Quetta.
The Sri Lankan under-19s toured Pakistan late in the 2004–05 season, playing two under-19 Tests and three under-19 One Day Internationals (ODIs) in March and April 2005. After his outstanding domestic form, Arsalan was selected in Pakistan's squad for the tour. He did not play in the first Test, but was one of three inclusions for the second – he, Nawaz Sardar, and Zohaib Ahmed came into the side, while Abid Ali, Nauman Alavi, and Uzair-ul-Haq were excluded. In the match, played at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Arsalan came in seventh in the batting order, with the score at 118/5. He proceeded to score 103* from 216 balls, including thirteen boundaries, and featured in a 143-run sixth-wicket stand with Fawad Alam, who scored 75. Arsalan did not bat again in Pakistan's second innings, as the match was drawn after four days. Having not been dismissed in his only innings, he finished his career without a batting average. Arsalan was less successful in the three ODIs on tour, with 62 runs in total and a best of 38.
