Aitchison College mourns the loss of a distinguished alumnus and former Pakistan Test
cricketer Farooq Hamid, who passed away on Thursday, 3rd April, 2025 after a battle with
cancer, according to his family. Hamid graduated from Aitchison in 1962, he was the winner of
the Aitchison Challenge Cup in 1961, a proud Kelly-ite, and held athletic colours in 1960. Known

sport, Hamid retired from cricket at the young age of 25.
