Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday remembered former spinner Abdul Qadir as a "genius" a day after the legendary cricketer died of a heart attack.
Cricket hero-turned-politician Khan and Qadir had a long and eventful association as team-mates.
Qadir, who would have turned 64 on September 15, was a favourite of the former captain.
"Abdul Qadir was a genius, one of the greatest leg spinners of all time," Khan tweeted, as fans all over Pakistan mourned the player's death.
"And he was also the life of the dressing room entertaining the team with his wit & humour".
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.

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.Qadir made his Test debut against England in Lahore in 1977 and went on to play 67 Tests, taking 236 wickets with a best of 9-56 against the same side in 1987.
