Waqar Younis Biography born November 16, 1971),
Waqar Younis Maitla (Urdu: وقار یونس, born November 16, 1971), nicknamed Wiki,[1] is a former Pakistani cricketer, widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time.[2] Well known for his ability to reverse swing the ball, he has 373 Test wickets and 416 ODI wickets to his credit. Waqar has the best strike rate for any bowler with over 200 Test wicket
Younis made his International cricket debut for Pakistan against India on 15 November 1989, in the same match that Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar also made his debut. Younis took 4 wickets in the drawn match including the wickets of Tendulkar and Kapil Dev. He made an immediate impression with his speed and became known in the cricket media as "Wiki"[9] or the "Burewala Express".[9] Younis along with Wasim Akram opened the bowling attack regularly for Pakistan, becoming a feared and potent attack. At his peak, he developed into a very quick fast bowler and also became famous for achieving a hat-trick in a One Day International match against New Zealand in 1994. During the early periods of 2000, he stayed out of the Pakistan team for a brief period allegedly due to suspension and conflicts with bowling partner and captain Akram.
His return to cricket came with him being appointed the captain of Pakistan. However, he had to deal with allegations of ball-tampering and a number of controversies. The 2003 World Cup was the last straw as it was a tournament to forget for Younis. In their opening match against Australia, Younis was removed from the attack after bowling a beamer at Andrew Symonds.[10] The Pakistanis then crashed out of the group stage after winning only two matches, both against associate member teams. After the tournament he conceded the captaincy and was dropped from international selection.
After a 15-year career, Younis announced his retirement from cricket altogether in April 2004. [3]
