Abdul Aziz

Abdul Aziz , (1941−17 January 1959) was a Pakistani cricketer who was born, and died, in Karachi, Sind. A wicket-keeper and opening batsman, Abdul Aziz played eight first-class matches for Karachi before he died after being struck by a cricket ball. He was a student at S. M. College and worked for the Pakistan State Bank.

Whilst batting in the first innings of the Quaid-e-Azam final against Pakistan Combined Services on 17 January 1959, Abdul Aziz was struck over the heart by a slow off break from Dildar Awan. While preparing to receive the next ball, Abdul Aziz fell to the ground and never regained consciousness, dying en route to the hospital.

Two of Abdul Aziz's brothers also played first-class cricket: Abdul Kadir played one match for North-West Frontier Province; Abdur Rasheed played 28 matches between 1953/54 and 1964/65.
