Probably born around 1940, Javed Bhatti had a long and successful career for Bahawalpur as a middle-order batsman and leg-spin bowler, often playing as captain. The highest of his eight centuries was 145 against Multan in 1971-72.[1] His two best bowling performances came within a few days of each other in 1962-63. He took 5 for 29 and 5 for 59 and made 109 (the only score above 45 in the match) against Multan, then took 6 for 77 against Lahore B.[2][3]

He scored a quick 105, the only century of the match, for The Rest against Pakistan in 1967-68, but he never played for Pakistan.[4]
