Mukhtar Ahmed (born 20 December 1992) is a Pakistani cricketer, who plays for Twenty20 Internationals for Pakistan and domestic cricket for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Fighters and Sialkot Stallions.

International career

He made his Twenty20 International debut for Pakistan against Bangladesh on 24 April 2015.[1] His first T20 international fifty came in his second match against Zimbabwe in Lahore on 22 May 2015. For this innings he was named man of the match.[2] Two days later in the second match of two in the series, he once again scored a fifty and was named man of the match, and finally won the player of the series award as well.[3]

The hard hitting ability and match winning performances in the Zimbabwe series gained him a lot of attraction to include him to the Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka in July 2015. But he showed poor performance in the 2-match series, where he got out in both matches below 10 runs. However, Pakistan won the two matches and won the series.
