After being carved out of India in 1947, Pakistan had their first tryst with Test cricket in 1952 when they toured India. After succumbing to a huge defeat in their maiden Test played at Delhi, the arch-rivals came together to return the favour.

India went on to win the 5-Test series 2-1 and those were the only 5 matches that Nazar Mohammad played for Pakistan.
