When Pakistan played a Test against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1995, injuries to pace bowlers resulted in a call-up for Nazir. Nazir was still on a 14-hour flight when he was named in the team, his plane landed an hour before play and he took the field 35 minutes late. When he bowled, he broke down with cramp.[1]
