The fierce rivalry between Moin Khan and Rashid Latif, two hugely talented wicketkeeper-batsmen, produced a golden period in Pakistan’s wicket-keeping history
In the 435 Test matches that it has played so far, Pakistan has deployed 23 wicket-keepers. The first was Hanif Mohammad who kept wickets for the initial three Tests of the inaugural series against India in 1952-53, and the latest entrant to this select group is the present wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan.
Seven of these keepers have gone on to captain the side with varying degrees of success. Moin Khan and Sarfraz Ahmed captained Pakistan in 13 Tests each , while Hanif led the side in 11 Tests, but in only one of these did he perform duties behind the stumps. Rashid Latif has the highest success rate as a captain, winning 4 out of the 6 Tests in which he led the country.
