Javed Miandad is a former batsman and captain of Pakistan.[2] He scored 23 centuries in Test cricket and 8 One Day International (ODI) hundreds during his 17-year international career.[1][3] Miandad played 124 Test matches and notched 8,832 runs to remain the leading scorer for Pakistan in Test cricket. In 233 ODI matches, he scored 7,381 runs.[2] In 1982, he was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year; the cricket almanac tagged him as "one of the best and most exciting players in the world".[4][5] He was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in January 2009.[6][7]

Miandad scored century on his Test debut against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, in 1976.[8] He was only the second Pakistan player to achieve this feat.[9][10][note 1] In the third and final Test of the series at National Stadium, Karachi, he made 206 runs and, at 19 years and 141 days, became the youngest ever player to complete a double hundred.[11][12] Seven years later, in 1983, Miandad realized his highest Test score, an unbeaten 280, against India at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad.[13]

In Test cricket, Miandad made a double century on six occasions.[14] He also scored a century in his 100th Test match and is only the second player to do so in the annals of the game.[15][note 2] Miandad scored Test hundreds at thirteen cricket grounds, including nine at venues outside Pakistan.[16][17] Four of his Test centuries came while captaining his team. As of August 2012, he was twenty-first in the overall list of most hundreds in a Test career.[18]

Having made his ODI debut in 1975 against the West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham,[19] Miandad scored his first ODI century against India at Municipal Stadium, Gujranwala, in 1982.[20] His highest ODI score of 119 not out came in a match which Pakistan lost to India at the Gaddafi Stadium, on 31 December 1982.[21] As of August 2012, he was thirtieth overall among all-time combined century makers, a position he shares with Saeed Anwar and Aravinda de Silva.[22]
