List of international cricket five-wicket hauls on Pakistani cricket grounds

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



The Pakistan national cricket team played its first Test match in India in October 1952.

Following the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, little international cricket has been played in Pakistan itself.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1][2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[3] The following list is about the five-wicket hauls taken on Pakistani cricket grounds.
