entered the test arena on October 16, 1952, against India at the Ferozeshah
Kotla ground (Delhi), it has won 48 tests and lost 43, for a success percen-
tage 0f 51.25.  During this period  total of 124 Pakistani players appeared
for their country under 14 captains, scored 92,178 runs and took 2843 wkts.
