Out of curiosity, i am wondering how you decide which initials/names to use?
Historically, we are used to Pakistani names being listed with 2 names (both cricinfo & on tv broadcasts).
IIRC, in Australia we used to think it was due to cultural differences but the evidence points more to it being necessary to distinguish between people since there is more commonality in names.
ie Hanif & Mushtaq Mohammad are brothers, Shoaib Mohammad is Hanif's son so they are the Mohammad family in exactly the same way (first name then surname) as in the anglosphere. But you have elected to list them as Hanif M, Mushtaq M & Shoaib M.

Not asking you to change anything, just interested.

At first I was just going with the initials and then the last name. That changed when people complained about Kapil Dev being listed as KR Nikhanj, which is kinda understandable. So since I am using the initials of the first name, the most popular part of the name and just plunging in an unpopular last name with the initials. Like I wrote Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi as IAN Khan. The Mohammads were a little different too, as there are too many of them and most have only one initial first name. Hence this approach.
