EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Abdul Hafeez during the 1946 All-India Tour of England. The match, held at the County Ground in New Road, Worcester on May 4th, witnessed Worcestershire's victory over India by a mere 16 runs. Abdul Hafeez, later known as Abdul Hafeez Kardar after adding his family name, made an indelible mark on cricket history beyond this tour. Following his time in England, he chose to stay and pursue higher education at Oxford University. This decision would prove pivotal for both him and Pakistan cricket. Kardar went on to become a legendary figure in Pakistani cricket and is widely regarded as its father-figure. In 1952, he captained the national team during their inaugural Test match—an immense honor that showcased his leadership skills and passion for the game. Throughout his career, Kardar led Pakistan in a total of 23 matches. His contributions extended far beyond playing; Kardar also served as chairman of selectors and president of Pakistan's Board of Control from 1972 to 1977. His dedication and commitment left an indelible impact on Pakistani cricket. This remarkable photograph by Colorsport / Wilkes serves as a testament to Abdul Hafeez Kardar's legacy—a man who not only excelled on the field but also played an instrumental role in shaping cricket culture within his beloved country.
