Biography Of Abdul Qadir- The Spin Wizard Of Pakistan
Widely regarded as one of the best leg-spinners of all time, Abdul Qadir rekindled the dying art of leg-spin bowling in an era dominated by pace attack. With a distinct run-up and bowling style, Abdul Qadir was an integral part of Pakistan team of 80's. He was a match winner and an attacking bowler with an enormous variety of deliveries up his armour - googly, flipper, leg-breaks, topspin and so on. Qadir represented country in 67 test and 102 ODI matches.
Born in Lahore on 15th September 1955, Qadir played first-class cricket for Lahore, Punjab and Habib Bank Limited cricket teams during 1975–95. Qadir made his Test debut in a home series against England in December 1977 at Gaddafi Stadium. His debut was very average and he was able to pick just one wicket and made 11 runs in the only innings he played. However, the second test of the series played at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad showcased the true skills of this dynamic spinner where he took his first five-wicket haul 6/ 44 and remained the highest wicket taker in the series with 12 wickets in his kitty.
