Pakistan’s all-time Test XI

2. Hanif Mohammad:

The oldest Test cricketer in the list, Hanif Mohammad holds the record for the second highest score in the history of first-class cricket 499. His international career was equally prolific. He holds the record for the highest individual score by a Pakistani in Tests- 337 (also the longest innings in terms of time ever) and made a huge impact in his albeit short career of 55 Tests.

His conversion rate was astonishing, with 12 hundreds and 15 fifties, and his average of 44 ensured starts that eventually turned to massive contributions very frequently. He showed immense patience and concentration in his innings, which made him very reliable, and his ability to grind it out deflated all bowling line-ups.
