NEW DELHI: Rashid Latif, regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest wicketkeepers, shares a fascinating and personal connection to India that extends beyond the cricket field. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Rashid is the son of Abdul Latif Quraishi, who migrated from Uttar Pradesh, India, to Pakistan during the 1950s.
Interestingly, while Abdul Latif settled in Pakistan, Rashid’s half-brother, Shahid Latif, chose to remain in India, where he built a career working for a newspaper in Kolkata in West Bengal.
