Former Pakistani Test cricketer Wazir Mohammad has passed away in Birmingham at the age of 95, his family confirmed on Monday.
Wazir was part of Pakistan’s first-ever Test squad that toured India in 1952, marking the beginning of his international career. Between 1952 and 1959, he represented Pakistan in 20 Test matches and scored 801 runs, including two centuries and three half-centuries.
Born in 1929, Wazir was the eldest of the famous Mohammad brothers, a legendary cricketing family that also included Hanif Mohammad, Raees Mohammad, Mushtaq Mohammad and Sadiq Mohamma – all of whom represented Pakistan in Test cricket.
