Wasim Bari (Urdu: وسیم باری) (born March 23, 1948, Karachi, Sind) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in 81 Tests and 51 ODIs from 1967 to 1984. Bari was a wicket-keeper and right handed batsman. At the end of his 17 year career he was the most capped player in Pakistani Test history.

His talent was first recognised in 1967 with members of the England under 25 team stating that he was the best keeper to come out of the subcontinent. It was in England where he made his Test debut, with Colin Milburn being his first dismissal. With the bat he only managed 15.88 per innings in his career but played some famous innings for Pakistan. There were none more famous than his unbeaten 60 from number 11, in which he made a then world record last wicket partnership of 133 with Wasim Raja.

Keeping Records

In 1971 at Leeds, he equalled the then world record of 8 catches in a Test match. He was in the record books again in 1976/77 by taking 4 stumpings in a Test, against the Australians. In 1979 against New Zealand he caught 7 of the first 8 batsman, creating a world record for most dismissals in a Test innings. He finished his Test career with 228 Test victims, the most by a Pakistani and to this day the most by a subcontinental keeper.
