Imtiaz AhmedPP (Urdu: امتیاز احمد), (5 January 1928 – 31 December 2016)[1] was a cricketer who played for Pakistan's first Test team in 1952 and in 40 subsequent Test matches.[2] He played in Pakistan's first 39 Test matches, setting a record for the most consecutive Tests played from a team's inaugural match.[3]
Born in Lahore, Ahmed was educated at Islamia College Lahore. He played in 41 Tests and scored over 2000 runs. He was a middle order batsman who also sometimes batted in the top order. He was Pakistan's second Test wicketkeeper as Hanif Mohammad had kept wickets in Pakistan's inaugural Test. He made the first Test double hundred by a wicketkeeper when he scored 209 against New Zealand in October 1955.
On 6 March 1951, playing for India Prime Minister's XI against a Commonwealth XI, Ahmed scored a triple century (300 not out) while following on, a feat that has been achieved by only two others.[4] He received Pride of Performance Award from the Government of Pakistan for sports in 1966.[5]
