Note. There might be more footballers who have played 20 or more official international matches for Pakistan. This absence of data is notable for old long-serving playersbefore 1999such as Zafar Iqbal & Muhammad Tariq Hussain, along with many others, who are likely to have accumulated a higher number of caps than currently recorded. Additionally, player appearances are also missing in the 2000 AFC Asian Cup qualification, two of the 2002 friendly matches against Sri Lanka, and 2006 friendly against Palestine in the primary source and yet to be updated.
