This is my all time Pakistan world X1, please bear in mind that most of
the players I have included are either those that I have seen play, seen
old footage of, or heard about from my cricket mad family.

Hanif Mohammad
Sadiq Mohammad
Zaheer Abbas
Javed Miandad
Inzamam Ul Haq
Imran Khan
Intikhab Alam
Wasim Akram
Waseem Bari
Abdul Qadir
Asif Masood

Reserves:-

Opener:- Mudassar Nazar
Middle Order:- Mushtaq Mohammad
All Rounder:- Asif Iqbal
Spinner:- Mushtaq Ahmed
Seamer:- Waqar Younis

As you can see my knowledge of Pakistani cricket is somewhat limited to
the seventies, but I am sure the more knowledgable Pakistan cricket fans
amongst you, will not doubt rectify any howlers that I've made.

Regards,

I never heard of Asif Masood, so here are his stats:Last 10 10
1845 40 978 19 0 0 51.47 97.1 3.18 3/47Home
6 1039 21 507 13 0 0 39.00 79.9 2.93 3/68
Away 10 1999 57 1061 25 1 0 42.44 80.0 3.18
5/111
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL 16 3038 78 1568 38 1 0 41.26 79.9 3.10
5/111

Surely, they look less than impressive. How can yo choose him over Waqar ?

The only point on which I'd disagree is that surely Waqar Younis must be
preferred to Asif Masood. Fazal Mahmood must also come close to
deserving a place.
