Cricket career
A specialist right-arm pace bowler, Jalal played first-class cricket in Pakistan from 1977–78 to 1988–89. His father and older brother also played first-class cricket.[1]
He was the first player to take a hat-trick in ODI cricket. He did so while playing against Australia at Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad on 20 September 1982.[2][3][4]
Coaching career
Jalal is now a coach, and is the only Pakistani Test cricketer who has the accreditation as both an ECB and PCB level 3 coach.[5][6][7] As of February 2021, he was a level 4 coach.[8]
In January 2018, he was appointed chief selector to the Pakistan women's team.[9] In March 2019, former Pakistan women's team captain Urooj Mumtaz replaced him in the position.[10]
In October 2020, he was appointed as USA’s national selector for the South-West Zone, responsible for selecting the men's seniors and youth teams.[11]
Cricket academies
Considered a pioneer of "cricket academies concept" in Pakistan, Jalal established the Customs Cricket Academy (CCA) in 1999, and the Vital Five Cricket Academy (VFCA) in 2009, both in Karachi.[12] In August 2009, the Korangi Town administration launched another of his cricket academies, the Jalaluddin Cricket Academy (JCA), in Karachi's Zaman Town.[13] Aiming to nurture talent at grassroots level, it offers free coaching through highly trained professionals to under-privileged local cricketers.[14]
