Often perceived as the land of fast bowlers, Pakistan have also produced world-class spinners over the years in every format – sometimes to support their pacers, at times to take the lead themselves. While Abdul Qadir kept wrist-spin alive through the 1980s, Saqlain Mushtaq is often credited for inventing the

doosra.

In the 2024/25 season, a pair of Pakistan finger-spinners opened bowling in Test cricket and claimed all 20 wickets. And then, there were the ones who left an impact with the bat from various batting positions – Intikhab Alam, Mushtaq Mohammad, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez – scoring at all possible rates.
