Majid Khan, Indian-Pakistani cricketer
Majid Jahangir Khan (Punjabi, Urdu: ماجد جہانگیر خان) is a former cricketer, batsman and captain of the Pakistan cricket team. In his prime, Majid Khan (often referred to as "Majestic Khan" by the British press) was considered one of the best batsmen in the world. In an 18-year Test career, he only played in 63 Test matches, primarily because Pakistan played a very limited Test match schedule. Khan's first-class career spanned 1961 to 1985. Overall, he played 63 Tests for Pakistan, scoring 3,931 runs with 8 centuries, scored over 27,000 first-class runs and made 73 first-class centuries, with 128 fifties. Majid played his last Test for Pakistan in January 1983 against India at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore and his last One Day International (ODI) was in July 1982 against England at Old Trafford, Manchester.
