Majid Usman (born 31 August 1953) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1969 to 1973. He toured with the Pakistan cricket team in the 1972–73 season but did not play Test cricket.[1]
A medium-fast bowler, Usman made his first-class debut in September 1969 in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Two matches later, he took 5 for 47 in the second innings of Lahore A’s victory over Peshawar in the Ayub Trophy.[2] He opened the bowling with Imran Khan for Lahore Under-19s when they won the national Under-19 championship in 1970–71.[3]
Usman was selected as one of the 17 men that made up the Pakistan team that toured Australia and New Zealand from November 1972 to March 1973.[4] He played only three first-class matches on the tour, all in New Zealand against Plunket Shield teams, taking seven wickets.[5] That was the end of his first-class career, at the age of 19.
