Misbah-ul-Haq, who captained the team to historic achievements, accumulated over 5,000 runs in Tests and ODIs. Mushtaq Mohammad, an iconic player of the 60s and 70s, scored 3,643 runs in Tests and 209 runs in ODIs. Saeed Anwar, known for his elegant batting, scored 8,824 runs in ODIs and 4,052 runs in Tests.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi praised these players for their exceptional leadership, skills, and commitment, which have inspired future generations. He said:
Mushtaq Mohammad is regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest captains, known for his astute leadership and inspiring style. Inzamam-ul-Haq’s immense talent and match-winning ability have left an indelible mark on the sport. Misbah-ul-Haq took charge of the Pakistan team during challenging times, guiding it to the pinnacle of Test rankings and achieving a historic series win in the Caribbean. Saeed Anwar, with his natural grace and classical technique, redefined the role of an opener and thrived against some of the world’s best bowlers under all conditions.
