Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
After an inconsistent start, Moin's first major Test knock came against Australia at Lahore in 1994. Moin guided Pakistan to a competitive total and he scored his first Test ton as the match ended in a draw. Moin also showed an aptitude to fight it out under pressure. During the 3rd Test against Sri Lanka at Sialkot, Pakistan needed 357 runs to achieve victory. Moin was the only batsmen who stood amidst the ruins with an unbeaten 117 as the rest of the batsmen failed to provide support and Pakistan lost the match by 144 runs.
He achieved great success in the ODI format as well. Coming lower down the order, Moin played some aggressive knocks and he finished off the innings in style. The period from 1997 to 2000 in ODIs was a golden period for Moin, with both gloves and the bat. His keeping was flawless and he was touted as a finisher towards the end of the ODI innings for Pakistan.
This aspect came to the fore during the Asia Cup in 2000 that was held in Bangladesh. Moin's captaincy had guided Pakistan to the final where they took on Sri Lanka. In a blistering assault towards the end, he belted 56 runs off just 31 balls as Pakistan finished up on 277/4. Sri Lanka were rattled as they folded up for 238 to give Pakistan victory by 39 runs and also the Asia Cup title.
However, as time passed by, Moin's captaincy was termed too defensive. He was not helped by the constant friction within the Pakistani team. His glove work also suffered in the coming seasons and he was dropped from the team in favor of Kamran Akmal after the 1st Test against Sri Lanka at Faisalabad in 2004.
Moin piled on the runs in the domestic circuit though. In 2005, he scored an unbeaten 112 off just 59 balls while playing for Karachi Dolphins against Lahore Lions in a T20 match. Towards the end of the season, he retired from cricket in style by smashing an unbeaten 200 for Karachi against Hyderabad which was his highest first class score. He coached the Hyderabad Heroes in the ICL in 2007 and also coached the Lahore Badshah's in the 2008 edition. He was also named the manager for the National team in August 2013. After Dav Whatmore's contract ended, Moin was made the head coach of the Pakistan side in February 2014. His first assignment was the Asia Cup and T20 WC, in both he could not live up to the expectations as Pakistan lost the final of the Asia Cup and failed to qualify for semi-finals in the T20 WC. The PCB named Moin Khan as the chief selector of the National side in April 2014.
Fun Facts: Moin Khan is known to be a chirpy character behind the stumps. He is credited for having given the term 'doosra' to Saqlain Mushtaq's off-spinning delivery that goes the other way.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Renowned for his combative skills, Moin Khan spent most of his career slugging it out with Rashid Latif for the keeper's gloves. His batting ability generally kept him in front although Latif was the better keeper. An effective rather than stylish batsman, Moin relished a crisis and held together Pakistan's lower order time and again. His quick feet and improvisation were even more productive in one-day cricket where he scored at speed. Behind the stumps, he was the chirpiest of keepers and the stump mike revealed his full repertoire to the world. "Well bowled" and "shabash" were his most familiar soundbites. As captain, Moin struggled to get his way amid Pakistan's incessant in-fighting and was too defensive, as when England triumphed in the gloom of Karachi in 2000. Moin played through most of the 2003-04 season, missing only the last two Tests against India due to injury. However, his wicketkeeping form wasn't entirely convincing, and with Kamran Akmal staking a strong claim, Moin's days as an international cricketer drew to a close in 2004.
He played his last first-class game a year later, and soon after took to coaching, joining as coach of Hyderabad Heroes in the ICL in 2007. Subsequently, he also coached Lahore Badshah in the ICL. Moin was appointed manager of the Pakistan team in August 2013 and was later promoted as interim head coach of the national team in February 2014, for the Asia Cup and World T20, after Dav Whatmore completed his contract with Pakistan. In April 2014, Moin took over as chief selector and manager of the national team.
