Mohammad Hussain (8 October 1976 – 11 April 2022)[1] was a Pakistani cricketer who played in 2 Tests and 14 ODIs between 1996 and 1998.[2] A left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler, he played first-class cricket for a number of teams in Pakistan between 1994 and 2009.[3]

He was involved in the "Toronto incident" with Inzamam-ul-Haq in September 1997, as the 12th man who provided a cricket bat to Inzamam before he attacked a member of the crowd.[4]

At the time of his death, he had been suffering with a kidney-related illness and was on dialysis.[5]
