==Cricket career==
===International career===

Throughout his international career, Moin had to compete with another [[wicket-keeper]], [[Rashid Latif]]. Moin kept wickets in the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]] which Pakistan won and the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]] where Pakistan finished runners-up. Latif kept wickets in the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] and the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]].

During the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]] Semi-final against [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]], Pakistan needed 9 runs for 8 balls before Khan hit a six to make it 3 runs off 7 balls and then hit a boundary to help Pakistan set up a clash in the World Cup final with England. In the World Cup final, Pakistan was 249 from 50 overs with Khan not getting a chance to bat. However, he took three catches in the match including one of [[Ian Botham]], who went for a duck against an inswinger bowled by [[Wasim Akram]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of New Zealand vs Pakistan 1st SF 1992 – Score Report|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65154/new-zealand-vs-pakistan-1st-sf-benson-%26-hedges-world-cup-1991-92|access-date=2020-10-29|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|archive-date=29 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029114838/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65154/new-zealand-vs-pakistan-1st-sf-benson-%26-hedges-world-cup-1991-92|url-status=live}}</ref>
