Rao Iftikhar Anjum (born 1 December 1980 in Khanewal) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. Rao can be recognized by his unnaturally slim build and his "puffing" bowling action.
With a bowling action similar to that of Glenn McGrath, he took more than 200 wickets in Pakistani cricketing competition, before being added to the Pakistani national team, having taken ten wickets in the Patron's Trophy Final in 2004.
Iftikhar was included in the Pakistani team for the one-day series against India and made his Paktel Cup debut seven months later. He was included in the Pakistani squad to the 2007 Cricket World Cup. He played three games, and took 5 wickets, despite a decent haul, his inability to bowl at the death stood out. With the re-emergence of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif, chances for Iftikhar Anjum seem few and far between from now on barring injury to any of the other major players.
