Mohammad Akram (Sindh cricketer)

After a gap of nine years he played his last first-class match, captaining Sukkur to an innings thrashing by Karachi Whites in 1984–85. It was the only match he played after turning 20.

The towns of Khairpur and Sukkur are about 30 kilometres apart in northern Sindh province, so when Sukkur made their first-class debut in 1974–75 they effectively replaced Khairpur in first-class cricket, and Akram was one of several former Khairpur players who appeared for the new team. He captained Sukkur in their match against Hyderabad in the Sikandar Ali Bhutto Cup in 1975–76 although he was still only 19. Later that season he played two matches for Pakistan Universities in the BCCP Patron's Trophy.

In 1973–74, in a BCCP Patron's Trophy match against Commerce Bank, Akram top-scored in each innings with 33 and 102 in an innings defeat. He also took three catches and opened the bowling. It was Khairpur's last first-class match.

Akram was run out for a duck in the second innings, beginning a run of low scores (0, 6, 0, 4, 0, 15, 1, 5, 16) that ended when, batting at number three, he top-scored for Khairpur with 59 out of a total of 132 in the second innings against Rawalpindi Blues in the Ayub Trophy in 1969–70.

On 15 November 1968, making his first-class debut in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy, Akram scored 111 in the first innings for Khairpur against Quetta in Sukkur. He came to the crease with the score at 98 for 6, completed his century just before stumps on the first day, then was last man out early on the second day. Khairpur made 311, and went on to win the match by 200 runs. Nobody else scored a century.

Mohammad Akram (born 12 April 1956) is a former Pakistani cricketer who made a first-class century at the age of 12 years and 217 days. If his birthdate is correct – The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians advises that birthdates from Pakistan and Bangladesh "should be treated with appropriate caution" – he is the youngest player in history to score a first-class century.
