LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Pakistan Cricket Board expressed its grief on the demise of former Test cricketer Shahid Mahmood, who passed away at the age of 81 on Sunday.
Shahid made his only Test appearance in July 1962 against England at Nottingham.
A seasoned first-class cricketer, Shahid played 66 matches in a 14-year-long career in which he took 89 wickets and scored 3,117 runs while turning out for Karachi, Pakistan Universities and Publics Works Departments.
He was the first Pakistan bowler to dismiss all ten batsmen in an innings, a feat that he achieved in the 1969-70 season of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani: “The PCB is saddened by the news of Shahid Mahmood’s passing. He was a seasoned first-class cricketer who made his mark in domestic cricket. We share the grief of his friends and family and express our deepest sympathies.”
