Tariq Saeed (Urdu: طارق سعید) is a Pakistani cricket commentator and sports correspondent. He was born in Sahiwal District in Punjab, approximately 112 km (70 miles) from Lahore. Since 2020,[1] he serves as one of the Urdu commentators in the Pakistan Super League.[2] Moreover, he has commentated in the National T20 Cup,[3][4][5] and has also written Urdu match reports for the ESPNcricinfo.[6] He is also a sports correspondent for Deutsche Welle.[7]
He is sometimes credited for reviving Urdu commentary in Pakistan.[8][9][10]
Born in Sahiwal, Saeed used to play cricket for the Forman Christian College team during his college days. While batting one day, a bouncer hit him just above his right eye, resulting in him leaving the game altogether. He then started commentating in domestic matches in Lahore.[8]
