About Saleem Yousuf

Saleem Yousuf (born 7 December 1959) is a Pakistani former international cricketer who played in 32 Test matches and 86 One Day Internationals between 1982 and 1990. As a wicketkeeper for the Pakistan national team, he was a "worthy successor" to Wasim Bari, and not only "proved his worth behind the wickets on innumerable occasions" but "also strengthened Pakistan's batting lower down the order through his powerful stroke play". In 1990, Saleem Yousuf became the first wicketkeeper to record three stumpings in an ODI innings and still jointly holds the record for most stumpings in a single ODI innings. In the Bangalore Test of 1986–87, played on a sharply turning surface after four drawn matches, Pakistan trailed by 29 on first innings and slipped to 184/7 when Saleem Yousuf came in.
