==Early life==
Born in Karachi to a father who was an officer in the [[Pakistan Navy]] and a [[United States]]-educated mother who was a teacher and vice-principal, Mohsin excelled at sports early on, in tennis, swimming and cricket, and even went on to become junior badminton champion of Pakistan.<ref>Richard Heller and [[Peter Oborne]], ''White on Green: A Portrait of Pakistan Cricket'', Simon and Schuster (2016), chapter 22</ref>

==International career==
Playing as the opener for [[Pakistani cricket team|Pakistan]] against [[Indian cricket team|India]] at [[Gaddafi Stadium|Lahore]] in 1982–83, he scored 101 [[not out]] of Pakistan's second-innings total of 135/1.

Mohsin was one of a minority of South Asian players to come to terms with conditions in Australia and England, scoring two consecutive centuries in Australia in 1983/84<ref>[http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/41303.html Cricinfo – Players and Officials – Mohsin Khan]</ref> and becoming the first Pakistani batsman to score a Test double century at [[Lord's]], which he did earlier in 1982.<ref>[http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=1544;class=testplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=1978-01-18;start=1978-01-18;enddefault=1986-11-25;end=1986-11-25;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=0;recent=;viewtype=bat_summary;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype Cricinfo – Statsguru – Mohsin Khan – Test Batting – Career summary]</ref>

==Cricket administration==
On 2 March 2010, Mohsin Khan was named [[Iqbal Qasim]]'s successor as chief selector of the [[Pakistan national cricket team]]. He accepted the role turned down by former Captain [[Saeed Anwar]]. Mohsin was Pakistan's fourth chief of selectors in the 12 months of 2009–10.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/pakistan/8538196.stm Mohsin Khan becomes Pakistan team's chief selector]</ref> He was appointed as interim coach of the Pakistan team on 3 October 2011 while the PCB formed a committee to search for a certified coach.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-v-sri-lanka-2011/content/story/534748.html Mohsin Khan appointed interim coach]</ref> Mohsin Khan was removed as interim coach once [[Dav Whatmore]] was selected as Pakistan's permanent coach in early 2012. Since being removed as interim coach, Mohsin Khan has applied for the coaching position on several occasions without any success. He is currently based in Karachi and can be seen on various private TV channels, continuously looking for a role with the PCB.

==Personal life and beyond cricket==
Mohsin married [[Bollywood]] movie star [[Reena Roy]] in 1983, and had a short career as an actor in the [[Indian film industry]] starting with [[J P Dutta]]'s 1989 film [[Batwara]]. His biggest success in [[Bollywood]] was [[Mahesh Bhatt]]'s crime thriller ''Saathi'' (1991), co-starring [[Aditya Pancholi]] and [[Varsha Usgaonkar]]. He also acted in several films in [[Pakistan]] in the 90s. He divorced Roy in the 1990s and got the custody of their daughter, Sanam. He later remarried and lost the custody of the daughter. He currently lives in [[Karachi]], [[Pakistan]] and his daughter, Sanam, now lives with her mother in [[India]]. He had named his daughter Jannat, but she is now called Sanam.
