Bazid Khan of Pakistan
became only the second third-generation Test
cricketer when he made his debut in the first Test
of the ongoing Test series against the West Indies. Majid Khan, his father, and Jahangir Khan, his
grandfather, had played 63 and four Tests
respectively.
|
|
Dean Headley - The
first third-generation
Test cricketer |
|
Bazid emulated Dean Headley of England, who became
the first third-generation Test cricketer when he
emulated his father Ron and grandfather George.
There is another striking similarity between the
Khans and Headleys. Two of the three Test
cricketers in both families played for one country
and the third for another.
George, Dean's grandfather, is still regarded as
one of the greatest batsmen of all time, and the
appellation 'The Black Bradman' that was conferred
on him, speaks for itself. He represented the West
Indies with distinction. His son Ron also played
for the West Indies, but Dean, who grew up in
England, opted to play for his adopted land.
In the Khan family, Jahangir represented
'undivided' (pre-Partition) India in four Tests,
and in fact played in India's inaugural Test in
1932. His son and grandson played for Pakistan.
Majid Khan also had a stint as captain of Pakistan.
Incidentally, two of his first cousins on his
mother's side also played and captained Pakistan in
Test cricket; Javed Burki and the great Imran Khan. |
