LAHORE: Pakistan’s most memorable Test commander Abdul Hafeez Kardar and country’s best Test hitter and 2009 T20 World Cup-winning chief Younis Khan have been drafted into the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Corridor of Notoriety.
The two symbols of Pakistan cricket have joined the celebrated gathering containing Abdul Qadir, Fazal Mahmood, Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Zaheer Abbas.
Kardar (post mortem) and Younis were enlisted following a democratic cycle highlighting Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Sana Mir, Urooj Mumtaz (both previous Pakistan ladies’ chiefs), Aaliya Rasheed, Dr Nauman Niaz, Rasheed Shakoor, Qamar Ahmed and Waheed Khan (all regarded print and broadcast columnists).
Responding to the news, Shahid Kardar, AH Kardar’s child, said: “This is a lavishly merited recognition for a characteristic captain whose motivational initiative put Pakistan on the world cricket map.”
Younis said: “I feel regarded to have been enlisted into the PCB Corridor of Acclaim.”
