Aasif Yusuf Karim (born December 15, 1963 in Mombasa) was a Kenyan cricketer. OfIndian ancestry, Karim made a reputation for himself as a useful lower-order batsman but predominantly as a left-arm spinner, frequently said to be one of the best outside the Test-playing nations. Karim also holds the unique distinction of having captained his country in representative cricket (ODIs) and tennis (Davis Cup) competition. Karim retired from international cricket following the 1999 World Cup in England but was persuaded to return to add experience to Kenya's squad for the 2003 World Cup in South Africa where he helped Kenya to become the first non-Test match playing nation reach the semi-finals of the World Cup. During the match against Australia, Karim gave the Australians a scare with figures at one stage reading 8-6-2-3. Karim announced at the end of the tournament that he would be retiring once again, this time for good.External link
