	Abdul Kardar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kardar captained Pakistan against all the Test playing nations of the day, and achieved an unparalleled distinction of leading his team to victories against each of them, which for a nascent cricketing nation was unheard of.
		Kardar served with many charitable and social development causes, and in the last years of his life served as Pakistan's ambassador to Switzerland.
		Kardar is today credited with popularizing the game with common Pakistani people and youth, for his tutelage of some of Pakistan's greatest cricketers, young talent and prodigies, and his stewardship of the Pakistan team and the board in its early years, developing a culture of pride and professionalism.

	Commentary
		This guide highlights the youthfulness of Kardar’s team: “The Pakistan touring side is probably the youngest side ever to undertake an official tour abroad, the average age of the side being less than twenty-five years”.
		However, Kardar was given the team’s captaincy with the support of the then defense secretary, Iskander Mirza, who told him, “You will go as captain otherwise the government will neither give passports nor foreign exchange to the team”.
		Kardar (1925-1996) has sailed away into history, but the sweet memory of the achievement of the 1954 team lingers on.

	Independent, The (London): Obituary: Abdul Hafeez Kardar
		Abdul Hafeez Kardar was a brave, determined and con-troversial cricketer and ad- ministrator who, his critics notwithstanding, will be remembered as the father figure of Pakistan cricket.
		Kardar's last tour was in 1957 to the West Indies, where he elected to play despite having a broken finger, defying medical advice, bowled 37 overs and scored 57.
		Kardar's last appointment was as Pakistan's ambassador to Switzerland, fortunately a non-Test-playing country, and he was watching the recent World Cup tournament on television in London when he suffered the collapse that led to his death.

		Kardar, who was president of the Pakistan Cricket Board was so impressed with the Sri Lankan team`s performance during their unofficial Test played at Lahore in March 1974, that he decided Pakistan would sponsor Sri Lanka for full ICC membership at the June meeting at Lord`s in 1975.
		Kardar is best remembered for leading his country to their first win over England on their maiden tour there in 1954.
		Kardar was captain of his country for the first 23 Tests during which time they also beat India and the West Indies.

		Kardar, not unlike Imran later, commanded awe and respect of his charges to the extent that each gave everything and then some, to the cause of the team.
		With an aristocratic mien which brooked no nonsense, Kardar was not only an excellent strategist, he was a valuable all-rounder who before leading Pakistan, already had the distinction of representing United India on the 1946 tour of England, was an Oxford Blue and Warwickshire player.
		Kardar is more famous for captaining Pakistan in the first decade, uninterrupted for the first 23 Tests, but he was an aggressive, quality left-handed batsman and an accurate slow left-arm bowler.

		Abdul Kardar, who died on April 21, 1996, aged 71, may be regarded as the father figure of Pakistani cricket and, as such, an important character in the history of the country as a whole.
		He captained Pakistan in their first Test match in 1952 and was at the forefront of events from then until he resigned from the Pakistani Board in 1977 in protest against Government interference.
		Kardar had a couple of productive seasons with Warwickshire, where his successes included marrying the club chairman's daughter, then returned to Pakistan to take on the captaincy.

	Cricinfo - Hope and fear
		Pakistan were led on that first tour by Abdul Hafeez Kardar, a man who had played Test cricket for India (or the All India team, as it was sometimes referred to post-Partition).
		A left-handed allrounder, Kardar finished his international career with ordinary playing statistics but with the distinction of having led Pakistan to a Test victory over every team they met, and thereafter became a formidable administrator.
		Kardar was still captain during the reciprocal tour in 1954-55.

		Abdul Hafeez proceeded to add some vital runs with K. Ibrahim." (137 not out at the close).
		It was thanks to Abdul Hafeez (Kardar) that I came to lay down fielding as the first precondition for any player to be in a team I was either leading, managing or coaching.
		Adhikari's 60 from India's 157 on the third (and final) day of the fourth Test vs Nigel Howard's England at Kanpur (January 1952) I discerned to be an innings of rare character against Roy Tattersall and Malcolm Hilton turning the ball almost at right angles.

	Cricinfo - The umpire and bucket controversy
		The initial weeks of the tour were happy and relaxed, although at a dinner early on, Carr had unintentionally upset Abdul Kardar, Pakistan's captain.
		Although Kardar was a slightly aloof character, Carr had assumed that he could get away with a few light-hearted reminiscences about the pair's time at Oxford University.
		Kardar had told Begh that he had been made to look ridiculous, and Begh appeared in front of reporters with his arm in a sling - a result, he claimed, of being manhandled by the MCC players.
