Azhar Khan (cricketer)
Mohammad Azhar Khan is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in one Test in 1980.
A capable offpsinning allrounder, Azhar Khan was unfortunate to play only one Test for Pakistan in a 22-year career, against Australia at Lahore in 1979-80. Played as an allrounder, he batted at No. 9, making 14, and then bowled fifth change in both innings, being given two overs in the first innings and one in the second. His only wicket was that of Allan Border, stumped by Javed Miandad for 153. He now acts as a match referee in domestic matches in Pakistan.
Azhar Khan played first-class cricket in Pakistan from 1972 to 1993. His highest score was 209 not out for Pakistan Universities against Bahawalpur in 1974-75. A year later, also against Bahawalpur, he made 203, this time for Lahore A.
In February 2020, he was named in Pakistan's squad for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa. However, the tournament was cancelled during the third round of matches due to the coronavirus pandemic.
