Qadir in numbers
From: Sep 7, 2019: The Times of India

Qadir’s unique, inimitable action and magical variations served Pakistan through 67 Tests and 104 One-day Internationals. He took 236 Test wickets and 132 ODI scalps. Qadir later served as chief selector for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and tried his hand at commentary as well. He was an outspoken critic of the PCB’s policies. Qadir is survived by his wife, four sons and a daughter who is married to current Pakistan star batsman Umar Akmal.

Qadir was a favourite of Pakistan’s former captain and current prime minister Imran Khan. He produced some of his best performances under Imran’s captaincy. Qadir’s biggest achievement was to keep the art of wrist spin alive during the 1970s and ’80s when fast bowlers dominated world cricket. PTI
