Afzaal Haider (born 12 December 1971) is a Pakistani-born Hong Kong cricketer.
Haider has played two One Day Internationals for Hong Kong in addition to two first-class games for the team and several games for Lahore City in Pakistani domestic cricket. Haider is a specialist fast pace bowler, whose highest score with the bat is 22, coming in a 47-run eighth-wicket partnership with Manoj Cheruparambil against Pakistan at the 2004 Asia Cup. With the ball, his best figures are five for 23 against Nepal in the first-class 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup tournament.
Haider began his career in Pakistan in 1991–92, playing three first-class games and three List A games for Pakistan University Grants Commission. He took five List A wickets, but was expensive, conceding runs at 5.5 an over - and was subsequently dropped. He then played five games for Lahore City.
Haider came to Hong Kong in 2000 and quickly joined the Hong Kong national team. Following a brief stint at Little Sai Wan Cricket Club in his first domestic season, he joined Kowloon Cricket Club and played under it for the rest of his domestic cricketing career. Alongside playing for and captaining teams including KCC Tartars and KCC Templars, he also spent seven years as Head Coach of Kowloon Cricket Club.
