Kamran Khan has been instructing cricket at Haverford for over a quarter of a century, maintaining the college's historic tradition in the sport.
Since he became coach in 1974, Khan has helped the Fords' cricket fortunes flourish, with several successful tours, most noteable among them trips to England and Scotland in 1990 and an undefeated tour of England in 1996. He meanwhile represented the United States in international competitions until 1994, earning All-World honors in 1976 and captaining the U.S. from 1980-92.
As a president of the USA Cricket Association in 2000-01, Khan developed, coordinated and promoted a wide spectrum of activities and projects for the betterment of cricket in America. He organized and conducted the U.S. teams tour to England in August 2001, as well fund raising and resource allocation for the International Cricket Council competition in Toronto that year
Kamran Rashid Khan began to play cricket in Pakistan when he was 4 years old. Since then cricket has become such an essential part of his life that he could not imagine himself apart from cricket. Anywhere he went or lived in the world, cricket was always with him. He represented Government College Lahore, Punjab (as captain) and Pakistan Universities. In 1969-70, he was awarded Pakistan's highest university sports award -- University Blue. Khan came to U.S. in 1971 to earn a Masters degree from Villanova (Pa.) University, and first learned of Haverford cricket while passing by the College. He was soon urged to become the teams coach.
Besides his devotion to cricket, Kamran Khan has successfully developed and managed several personal businesses. He has been on the board of directors of the Bryn Mawr Business Association for many years and presently operates Galina Oriental Rug Gallery in Blue Bell, Pa.
