5 Pakistani players who had a great first-class career but failed to shine in Tests

#4 Sikander Bakht

Bakht (R) made his debut at 19 but failed to establish himself as a permanent fixture in the side

Bakht was another one of those fast bowling giants in first-class cricket who failed to make a name for himself in Test cricket. He was one of the finest fast bowlers in domestic cricket as first-class numbers of 553 wickets in 186 matches at an average of 25.16 would suggest.

Although he made his Test debut for Pakistan at the tender age of 19, his career spanned only seven years as the arrival of players like Imran Khan, Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram meant there was no room for a bowler like him.

He was a bowler who relied on the conditions and pitch to make things happen while the trio of Khan, Akram and Younis could produce magic with the ball at will. However, those who have seen him bowl in first-class matches know why he was one of the most respected and feared bowlers in Pakistan's domestic arena.
