Pakistan Biography

Few cricket sides have been as mercurial as Pakistan; few have oscillated so frequently between the sublime and the atrocious; add to that the controversies, and Pakistan would definitely be classified as a one-of-its kind side.

Having gained Test status following India's partition, Pakistan registered their maiden Test victory at their second go against India at Lucknow. Two years later they defeated the English at their den, and with their seemingly endless supply of fast bowlers, have remained a force as formidable as any over decades.

Their arch-rivalry with India ranks next to only the Ashes in terms of cricket contests, but they have had their clashes with other sides as well: both England and Australia have been involved in on- and off-field clashes with Pakistan, but despite all that they had continued to thrive. Legends like Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, and Wasim Akram have ensured that their heads had been held high on the field.

Pakistan clinched the World Cup in 1992 against all odds, and have subsequently been oscillating between extremes. Hit by match-fixing (which had put several cricketers under scrutiny), terrorist attacks (which made sure Pakistan does not get to play a match at home), and unfathomable selection policies (no other side changes captains as frequently), they have still managed to come up with surprises every now and then.

It may be argued that Pakistan is not the safest place to play cricket in, and neither does it have the best possible domestic infrastructure. However, it cannot be denied that cricket will be a sorrier sport without Pakistan.
