Abdul Kadir (cricketer)

Abdul Kadir Urdu: عبدالقادر‎; 10 May 1944 – 12 March 2002, Karachi was a Pakistani cricketer who played in four Tests from 1964 to 1965. A wicket-keeper, Abdul was run out for 95 on his Test debut, against Australia at Karachi. He had opened the batting with Khalid Ibadulla with whom he made 249. His only other Test half century was an innings of 58 at Auckland.
Abdul Kadir got his earlier education from Sindh Madrasatul Islam. He was the son of famous religious scholar Moulana Mufti Sahibdad Khan. Two of his brothers also played first class cricket Abdul Aziz (cricketer) and Abdul Rasheed. Later, Abdul Kadir served as a senior banker in National Bank of Pakistan along with his younger brother Abdul Karim. He died on 12 March-2002.

• Abdul Kadir (95) on debut went on to be part of unbroken record(as of March 2013). The partnership of 249 between Ibadulla and Abdul Kadir (95) for Pakistan against Australia in Karachi in 1964–65 is the highest in Test cricket for any wicket to involve two test debutants.
