Kabir Ali (Cousin)
Abdul-Kadeer Ali (Urdu: عبد قادر علی; born 7 March 1983) is an English cricketer. Kadeer is currently at minor counties side Staffordshire. He has played for Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, as well as appearing for England A. He was capped by Gloucestershire in 2005. He studied at Handsworth Grammar School.
Ali made his debut in List A cricket when he appeared for the recreational Worcestershire Cricket Board team against Kent Cricket Board in the NatWest Trophy at Maidstone in May 1999. Opening the batting with Jonathan Wright, Ali scored 24 but was unable to stop his team falling to a five-run defeat. Later that year, he turned out in club cricket for Smethwick, playing alongside Wasim Akram. Ali stated he wanted to fulfil his dream of opening the batting with his childhood hero and cricketing mentor Haseeb Bajwa.
After several Second XI games in 1999, Ali made his first-class debut for Worcestershire in early May 2000, when he appeared against Cambridge University at Fenner's, scoring 3 in his only innings. He played three other first-class games and one List A match that season, but did nothing significant in any of them. He was selected for the England Under-19s against Sri Lanka Under-19s in August, but his only score of note was the 59 he hit in the first Youth Test, which England won by an innings.
