There is just not enough nickel around and that has been the case for a while.
"Maqsood Ahmed" was a Pakistani cricketer who played in 16 Test cricket/Tests from 1952 to 1955. He was educated at Islamia College (Lahore)/Islamia College, Lahore.
Maqsood Ahmed was a useful all rounder in the first ever cricket team of Pakistan. Before the creation of Pakistan, he played for Southern Punjab in India, scoring 144 in his very first match. An aggressive hitter of the ball, Maqsood played a vital role in the recognition of Pakistan as test playing nation when he made 137 against the visiting Marylebone Cricket Club/MCC in 1951-52.
A right-handed middle-order batsman, Maqsood was a hard hitter of the ball and is one of the Test cricketers whose highest score was 99, which he made in the Third Test against India cricket team/India in 1954-55. Though a brilliant batsman, his performance in Test matches was rather irregular because of his carefree attitude. In England in 1952 he became the first Pakistani to play as a professional cricketer. The English press dubbed him "Merry Max".
