Pakistan Cricket Legends

In 1958, he became the youngest Test cricketer at the time when he made his debut at the age of 16 years and 248 days. He’s also the youngest cricketer to claim a five-wicket haul in Test cricket when he picked up five for 116 against the West Indies at the age of 16 years and 303 days.

Further, he also became the first Pakistani cricketer to score a Test century in England when he made 101 at Lord's, which he did as a night- watchman.

Here’s wishing a very happy 83rd birthday to former Pakistan cricketer Nasim-ul-Ghani.

Before the start of the Test series between Australia and Pakistan in 1976-77, Dennis Lillee said he would bounce out Majid Khan and take off Majid's famous floppy hat.
During the Sydney Test Lillee did what he stated and Majid gifted the hat to Lillee. It was all about a healthy competition and all done in a sporting manner.

Pakistan won the Test and left Australia with their heads high by levelling the series against the best team, who nailed West Indies and England previously, in world cricket.
