== International career ==
=== Early career === Sohail Tanvir belongs to [[Rawalpindi]], from [[Awan (tribe)|Awan]] tribe. An allrounder, he is a hard-hitting left-handed [[batsman]] and an unorthodox left-arm [[Fast bowling|medium-fast bowler]] who also bowls occasional [[left-arm orthodox spin]]. Was selected for Pakistan's squad for the inaugural [[2007 ICC World Twenty20|World Twenty20]] after [[Shoaib Akhtar]] was sent home. He made his [[Twenty20]] debut in the tournament, and took six wickets in six matches, with best bowling figures of 3 for 31 in four overs against [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]]. Though considered an allrounder, Tanvir did not get a chance to bat in the tournament until the final, where he made his first international runs, with a six off his first ball, aiding Pakistan back into the game.
After impressing in the ICC World Twenty20, he was selected to play in the ODI series against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in October 2007. He was then selected for the tour of India, and took eight wickets in the ODI series. He also took part in the Test series that followed, making his debut in place of the injured [[Umar Gul]]. On debut at the [[Feroz Shah Kotla]] in [[Delhi]], he took three wickets which included his first international Test cricket causality [[Sourav Ganguly]] and [[Rahul Dravid]]. In the [[Asia Cup]], June 2008, Pakistan played their first game against Hong Kong at Karachi. In that match, Pakistan's top order struggled to get grips with Hong Kong bowlers before Sohail Tanvir set up a 100 run stand along with [[Fawad Alam]] for the 8th wicket. Sohail scored his maiden ODI 50 in that match. He scored 59 off just 55 balls which took Pakistan to a respectable score of 288. After that, in the match vs. Sri Lanka, Tanvir took his first 5 wickets haul. He ended at 5/48 in 10 overs. After the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]]
