To honour Pakistan’s legendary cricket stalwart Abdul Hafeez Azad, search engine giant Google, has paid homage via dedicating a special doodle on account of the late cricketer’s 94th birthday today.
Hailed as the first captain of the Pakistani cricket team in history, Abdul Hafeez Kardar established himself as a formidable force to reckon for his immeasurable services to the sport.
Born on January 17, 1925, in Lahore, Kardar is widely recognised as a father figure of Pakistan’s cricket.
He played domestic cricket for a variety of teams, including: Oxford University, Northern India and Muslims. He was one of the few players of his generation who played for India in Tests against England, and following the independence of Pakistan, representing Pakistan.
