Obituary
Send FlowersMild-Mannered Cricket Star
During the week, Nezam A. Hafiz was a mild-mannered analyst for Marsh & McLennan, the insurance giant.
On the weekend, he was something else: a cricket star.
But a mild-mannered cricket star. "He was a proper gent, as we like to say, on the field and off the field," said Lesly R. Lowe, president of the Commonwealth Cricket League, of which Mr. Hafiz was captain.
Mr. Hafiz, 32, was a member of the United States national team, which last year actually defeated an English team on its home turf. He had also been captain of the American Cricket Society.
In Guyana, where he was born, Mr. Hafiz played on the under-19 national team, said his sister, Debbie Ally. He moved to New York about a decade ago, she said, and lived with his parents in South Ozone Park, Queens.
Mr. Hafiz was admired for his cricket skills, but "more than that, he was a very likable guy," said Atul Rai, president of the United States of America Cricket Association. "People liked him for his manners. In cricket, those things are also important."
Guest Book
A most gifted and talented batsman, who was in the highest caliber of batsmanship. No less a player than cricket legend Rohan KANHAI rated him as an accomplished batsman, with great courage. Hafiz was also a gentleman, and a great son, who made us all proud of him. Live on, Nizam, you will never be forgotten...Inshallah!

I worked with Nezam years ago at AIG. Fine, respectful, smart - and a passionate cricket player. I heard your name today at the memorial service at Ground Zero. Your family should know we will always remember you.

Where did the years go? Can't believe it has been seventeen years ago that you were physically gone. You are still very much alive in spirits and in the hearts of all those who loved you dearly. R.I.P my dear friend.
