Mohammad Junaid Khan (Urdu: جنید خان; born 24 December 1989) is a Pakistani cricket coach and former cricketer who played for the Pakistan national cricket team from 2011 to 2019.[2][3] His cousin, the leg-spinner Yasir Shah, followed his path later.[4] Junaid Khan was a member of the Pakistan team that won the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.

After an injury to Sohail Tanvir on the eve of the 2011 World Cup, Khan was called up as his replacement, with no experience in international cricket. Khan did not play in the tournament, and later made his One Day International debut in April 2011. In June that year Khan represented Lancashire County Cricket Club in English domestic cricket.[citation needed]

In August 2018, he was one of 33 players to be awarded a central contract for the 2018–19 season by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).[5][6]
