Tanvir arrives at the Centaurs this season after playing for Police, Pakistan Club and HKU in the past three seasons. In those three seasons, Tanvir has taken 66 wickets at an average of 17.24 runs and has made an impact against the Centaurs all three seasons. To those who remember, while playing for Police at PTV, he bowled like the wind and nearly killed one of our batsman with his razor sharp bouncers. The following season he smashed us with the bat in the dark at Kai Tak and last season came in and hit 18 off 3 deliveries from Merlin. To those of you who do not know Tanvir, he is an aggresive hard-hitting batsman and the fast bowler that we've been looking for. With his bowling, Tanvir has a simple action that mirrors that of his idol, Glenn McGrath.

Tanvir is set to become a dual nationality international after qualifying through residency for Hong Kong this season. He represented Pakistan Under 19's in 2006-07 before moving to Hong Kong for the 2008-09 season. Since his arrival, he is widely regarded as the premier fast bowling seamer in the Hong Kong domestic cricket scene and also has a reputation of being a destructive batsman. Tanvir has represented Hong Kong for the past two years at the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes and is set to make his national debut at the next ICC or ACC Tournament.
