Aftab Ahmed (cricketer, born 1931)


Aftab Ahmed Khan is a former Pakistani cricketer. From Lahore, Aftab made his first-class for Punjab University during the 1948–49 season against a Punjab Governor's XI, and played in a similar fixture two seasons later. A right-arm off-spinner, three of his four remaining matches at first-class level came for Punjab, during the 1953–54 and 1954–55 editions of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. Against North-West Frontier Province in November 1954, Aftab took a career-best 6/27 in the first innings and 5/52 in the second innings, finishing with match figures of 11/79. However, he was less successful in his two other matches during the season, and never again played for Punjab. Overall, Aftab finished his career with 20 wickets from six first-class matches, eleven of which came in the match against North-West Frontier Province.
