Best Wicketkeeper/Wicketkeeper batsman of Pakistan

[capt_Luffy]

If to choose a Pakistan XI, who would you give the gloves to? There are a variety of options, from some great glovesmen though not so great with the bat in Wasim Bari to a good batsman but liability behind the stumps in Sarfaraz Ahmed and Kamran Akmal; and everything in between in Imtiaz Ahmed, Taslim Arif, Saleem Yousuf, Moin Khan, Rashid Latiff, Adnan Akmal and Mohammad Rizwan. And then the wild possibility of just giving Hanif the gloves...... Who is the best wicketkeeper/wicketkeeper batsman from Pakistan?

I dont know enough to choose but my favorite was Moin. So voted for him. And he had a very key but forgotten role in Pak's only WC win as well.

Rizwan has pretty much secured this.

Purely on wicket-keeping, it would appear to be between Bari and Latif, who were both top class. Rizwan perhaps the best since them.

Rizwan has pretty much secured this.

The only issue I have with Rizwan is his ****ty longevity.... If he plays for 5 years more and maintains his performance, he would become hands down the best.

While making 300 not out for the India Prime Minister's XI against a Commonwealth XI in March 1951, Imtiaz was hit in the eye and gave up wicket-keeping.

Hanif took over behind the stumps but struggled, and Imtiaz accepted the gloves again in November 1952. Imtiaz was more of a batsman-keeper, but a good one.

Neither Rashid or Moin played that many tests.
