An opening batsman by craft, Mudassar Nazar was no attractive batsman, he was more of a plodder, a tuk-tukker. Interestingly, his father, Nazar Mohammad had opened the batting for Pakistan in 1952.
Nazar holds the notoriety (or record) of authoring the slowest ever Test ton, he reached the three figure mark in 419 balls and 557 minutes against Mike Brearley's visiting English side in 1977-78.
Following his father's footsteps, he became the second Pakistani batsman to carry his bat as an opener after the former when he achieved the feat against India in 1982-83. Nazar was also decent right-arm medium bowler, falling into the 'partnership breaker' category.
Following his retirement, Nazar turned to coaching. After a stint with Pakistan, Nazar also served as Kenya's coach.
