Profile
After Wasim Bari, a worthy successor was found in the form of Saleem
Yousuf who not only proved himself to be an agile and adept wicket-keeper but
also strengthened Pakistan's batting lower down the
order through his powerful stroke play. He proved his worth behind the wickets
on innumerable occasions with athletic catches and sharp stumpings. He also
chipped in with useful innings in both forms of the
game to guide Pakistan to numerous victories. One of his most memorable innings
was a gritty innings in the match against West Indies in the World Cup 1987
which turned certain defeat into victory for Pakistan.
