Umar Gul (Urdu: عمر گل, Pashto: عمر گل) (born 15 October 1982[1][2]) is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer who is the current bowling consultant of Peshawar Zalmi and interim bowling coach of the Pakistan national cricket team.[3] Gul was a member of the Pakistan team that won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, being the highest wicket taker of the tournament, along with being the runner-up of the 2007 tournament, in which he was also the highest wicket taker.
He played all three formats of the game as a right arm fast medium bowler for the Pakistani cricket team.[4][5]
Umar Gul was the second-highest wicket-taker in Twenty20 International cricket, with 74 dismissals, behind Saeed Ajmal.[6][7] He won the Twenty20 International Performance of the Year 2013.[8]
On 16 October 2020, after the final group-stage match of the 2020–21 National T20 Cup, Gul retired from all forms of cricket following a career that spanned twenty years.[9][10]
