On the back of their successful careers in cricket, a lot of players have managed to gather a massive net worth. Take a look at the list of richest Pakistani cricketers.

Alam struck his fourth Test century since his comeback in international cricket after a decade to lead a fightback against West Indies on Sunday.

Pakistan had resumed day three on 212-4 but only eight balls were bowled before play was suspended because of a wet patch on the bowling crease that West Indies felt was dangerous.

Azam (75) and left-hander Alam (76) prevented a disastrous collapse, putting on 158 and blunting the home barrage before the latter retired hurt due to injury.  

Fawad top-scored with 56 before being bowled by Holder, who then removed Abbas with his next ball and will be on a hat trick when he next bowls in Pakistan’s second innings. The Test is the first of two between the teams at Sabina Park, being played behind closed doors because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dean Elgar, who scored a half century in South Africa first innings score of 220, was not out on 18 and Aiden Markram was unbeaten on 16 as South Africa reduced the margin to 121 and reached 37-0 at lunch. Rabada reached the milestone in his first over of the day when he uprooted Hasan Ali's (21) middle stump as the batsman attempted a reckless pull. Shah ensured Pakistan stretch its lead beyond the 150-run mark by smashing four boundaries and also lofting Keshav Maharaj (3-90) over long on for a six before the left-arm spinner ended South Africa's woes by having Nauman trapped lbw.

Out-of-favour Pakistani all-rounder Fawad Alam has said that one of the main reasons behind his continuous snub from the national team is "favouritism" within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

The England captain played the third longest knock in Test cricket.

Pakistan key Test batsman Azhar Ali was ruled out of 1st Test against England because of an infected foot.
