Salman Butt (born October 7 , 1984 in Lahore , Pakistan ) is a Cricket er who plays as a Left-handed Batsman . He plays as an Opening Batsman , largely because of his ability to both bat for long periods of time, and build solid Innings that other batsmen can utilize.

Butt played in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup and also toured South Africa with the Pakistan Academy team, scoring 233 Runs against the South African Academy team. He made his Test debut against Bangladesh in 2003 . Eventhough in the beginning there were doubts over his defensive technique, Butt proved himself with his confidence and is known as a very "wristy" player who favours the Off Side with his punchy Square Drive s.

Following strong performances in Australia in 2005 , Butt was chosen for the Pakistani team's tour of the West Indies and India . He scored a Century at Jamshedpur against the latter team. In November 2005 , Butt scored a century in Pakistan's first test against the touring England team and earned the Man Of The Match award for his performance. He also performed consistently both in the Test series and in the following ODI series.
