Syed Ali Urooj Naqvi (Urdu: سید علی عروج نقوی) (born 19 March 1977) is a Pakistani former cricketer who played five Tests for the national team from 1997 to 1998.[1] A right-handed batsman, he scored his only Test century (115) in his debut Test, against South Africa at Rawalpindi in 1997 in which another debutant Azhar Mahmood also scored a century; the two became the only debutant pair to score a century in the same Test.[2] He was a regular part-time off spin bowler at first-class level.[3]
