PCB to honour Saleem Yousuf, Rashid Khan.

KARACHI -- Former Test players Saleem Yousuf and Rashid Khan will be honoured by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) during the lunch interval on day four of the second and final Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka here at the National Stadium.

According to PCB media director Samiul Hasan, Saleem and Rashid will be presented with mementos as token of their participation in Pakistan's inaugural Test against Sri Lanka, which was staged at this venue in March 1982.

Rashid, who turned 60 last Sunday, was a paceman who used to bowl off the wrong foot. On his Test debut against Sri Lankans Rashid first excelled with the bat, making 59. He dismissed Sri Lankan opener Sidath Wettimuny in both innings of that Karachi Test, and also took the wicket of Ranjan Madugalle, who later captained his country and is now currently the International Cricket Council's chief match referee.

Wicket-keeper/batsman Saleem also made his Test debut in the same match. And although he scored just four runs in the first innings, Saleem - affectionately known in the cricketing circles as 'Tiger' - made six dismissals, including four in the second innings while helping Pakistan record a thumping win by 204 runs.
