Pakistan cricket lost one of its pioneering figures early as Wazir Mohammad died at the age of 95 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Wazir, the oldest of the Mohammad brothers, was the third-oldest surviving Test cricketer after Neil Harvey and Trevor McMahon. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was deeply saddened by his death. Chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated: “Wazir Mohammad’s services to cricket will always be remembered. The PCB is deeply saddened by the passing of former Pakistan Test batter Wazir Mohammad. One of the four Mohammad brothers to represent Pakistan in Test cricket, he featured in 20 matches for his country from 1952 to 1959. The PCB extends its heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.” Also Read | India’s 13-Year Test Low Under Gill, Unseen in Kohli-Rohit Era Cricketing Journey and Achievements Wazir Mohammad played a Test match against India in 1952 but found it hard at the start, scoring only 12 runs in two innings. Nevertheless, he played 20 Tests, with 801 runs on an average of 27.62. His first-class career was better, with 4,930 runs in 105 matches at 40.40, including 11 centuries and 26 half-centuries. Some of his notable performances included important innings against England in 1954 and Australia in 1956, both of which resulted in vital Pakistan victories. His finest moment came on Pakistan's 1958 tour of the West Indies, where he made 105 at Port of Spain and a record 189 at Georgetown that contributed hugely to Pakistan's historic victory against the powerful West Indies side. He was born on December 22, 1929, in Junagadh, British India. Wazir was the main architect in bringing his younger brothers, Hanif, Mushtaq, and Sadiq Mohammad, to the game of cricket. This was in addition to having a career that went beyond cricket as he settled in Solihull, West Midlands, working for the National Bank and later the Bank of Credit and Commerce International while his sons went on to continue the family legacy at local. The death of Wazir Mohammad marks an end of an era of Pakistan cricket. A history of selfless and courageous pioneering would lie behind into which Pakistan cricket's very formative years had been cast.
