Born 12 June 1957 at Karachi, Sind, Pakistan
Javed Miandad was a precocious talent who made his debut for Pakistan the day before his 18th birthday during the 1975 World Cup. He made 163 on Test debut against New Zealand at Lahore in 1976 and at Karachi later in the series scored the first of his six Test double-centuries. He was the youngest to score a Test 200 at the age of 19 years, 141 days.
He was a middle-order batsman with a touch of genius possessing wonderful off-side strokes. At the end of his career he was easily Pakistan’s leading run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs. He was a useful leg-spin bowler, fine cover fielder and occasional wicket-keeper who took a stumping in Test cricket and two in ODIs. He captained Pakistan in 34 Tests and 62 ODIs and had a few stints as their coach.
