By AFP News October 14, 2025 • 09:10 AM View: 470

Wazir Mohammad, the last surviving link to the start of Pakistan's journey as a Test nation, has died at the age of 95, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Monday.

Over the course of 20 Tests between 1952 and 1959, he only scored 801 runs as a middle-order batsman at an average of just over 27 but he played key roles in three of Pakistan's earliest benchmark wins.
