Abdul Qadir Khan SI was an international cricketer who bowled leg spin for Pakistan in the late 1970s and 1980s. Qadir's style of bowling consisted of a rhythmic cantering walk before an aggressive ball toss. He was the leading leg-break bowler of his generation and the one younger players like Shane Warne looked up to. Later Qadir was a commentator and chief selector of the Pakistan Cricket Board, from which he resigned in 2009.
He appeared in 67 Tests and 104 One Day International (ODI) matches between 1977 and 1993, and captained the Pakistan cricket team in five ODIs. In Test cricket, his best performance for a series was 30 wickets for 437 runs, in three Test matches at home against England in 1987.
