Former Pakistan Test captain Saeed Ahmed passed away at the age of 86, on March 20, 2024. Saeed Ahmad represented Pakistan in 41 Test matches, scoring 2,991 runs with the help of five centuries and 16 half-centuries. He also took 22 wickets with his right-arm off-spin bowling. He made his Test debut against the West Indies in 1957-58 and played his last Test for Pakistan in Melbourne during the 1972-73 tour. He was Pakistan’s sixth Test captain and had replaced Hanif Mohammad as captain of the side during England’s tour of the nation in 1969. However, his tenure as captain lasted for only three Tests.

I remember his fierce off drives. He was an exciting batsman who lost his touch in the latter part of his career. He also was a useful off spin bowler.
