Amjad Khan is something of a rarity in county cricket, a Danish fast bowler.
Born in Copenhagen, he became the youngest person to ever play for Denmark at the age of 17. In his first full season at Kent, in 2002, he claimed an impressive 63 wickets. He failed to regain this form in the following seasons, but 2005 heralded an upturn in his fortunes as he played a significant part in Kent's challenge for the title. Khan is useful with the bat too, as a first-class average of nearly 20 suggests. In December 2006 he was awarded British citizenship making him eligible for England selection and earned a place at the Academy. However, a serious knee injury forced him home and reconstructive surgery kept him out of the entire 2007 season. He return during the 2008 summer with some impressive results, and the selectors kept watching before naming him in the Performance Squad for India.
