KARACHI: Ex Pakistan cricket team manger Yawar Saeed has on Wednesday passed away after long illness at the age of 80.
According to details, Yawar Saeed played 50 first-class matches for English county team Somerset as an all-rounder between 1953 and 1955 before returning to Pakistan to play nine more games at the domestic level.
After retiring as a player, Yawar became an administrator and served the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a long time in various capacities.
He was the team manager when the 2010 spot-fixing controversy erupted during the fourth and final Test at Lord’s when the then captain Salman Butt instigated pace bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir to bowl no-balls. The trio were subsequently suspended and then banned by the ICC.
