Deeply saddened to hear of Abdul Qadir's passing. My prayers & condolences go to the family. Abdul Qadir was a genius, one of the greatest leg spinners of all time. And he was also the life of the dressing room entertaining the team with his wit & humour.— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) September 7, 2019
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also offered its deepest condolences to his family and friends.Qadir's bowling statistics do not do justice to his genius. Had he been playing cricket now with the modern DRS system, where batsmen can be given out on the front foot as well, Qadir would have gotten as many wickets as the great Shane Warne.— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) September 7, 2019
