Ibadulla made his Test debut against Australia in Karachi in 1964. He played a historic knock of 166 in the first innings of his first international appearance. His innings was part of a record-breaking 249-run opening partnership with fellow debutant and wicketkeeper Abdul Kadir, a record that still stands as the highest partnership between two debutants for any wicket in Test cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite his spectacular start, Ibadulla's Test career was brief. He played only three more Tests, and picked up one wicket in the format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ibadulla's prowess was more pronounced in first-class cricket, where he amassed 17,078 runs at an average of 27.28 and claimed 462 wickets. He played 417 first-class matches, 377 of which were for Warwickshire, a club he served with distinction for over a decade.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
