Mohammad Moin Khan (Urdu: محمد معین خان) (born September 23, 1971) popularly known as Moin Khan (Urdu: معین خان) is a Pakistani cricketer (wicketkeeper and batsman) and member of the Pakistani national cricket team since 1990. He has also captained the Pakistani side. He was born in Rawalpindi, Punjab. He made his international debut against West Indies cricket team at Multan. He has taken over 100 catches in Test cricket. He has scored over 3,000 ODI runs and taken over 200 catches in ODI cricket. He is the only cricketer to coin a name for a cricketing delivery. In the mid 1990's he coined the mystery delivery of Saqlain Mushtaq that went from leg to off as the doosra. It means the "other one" in Urdu. He is no longer part of the national side, and has returned to playing first class cricket. In 2005 Moin played in the ABN Amro 20-20 cup as the captain of the Karachi Zebras. During the series Moin Khan set a new record by scoring the first century in a 20-20 match.
