Legendary Pakistan Test batsman Hanif Mohammad on Thursday passed away at a Karachi hospital, a hospital spokesman confirmed. He was 81.

Known as Asian Bradman, Hanif was suffering from lung cancer for which he underwent surgery in London in 2013.

He was shifted to the ventilator at the Aga Khan Hospital here a couple of days ago after his health deteriorated.

Hanif was admitted to hospital three weeks ago following breathing problems.
