Abbas Khan Lodhi (1 July 1911 – 27 January 2002) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Sind, Muslims Karachi and India. He usually batted high in the order and sometimes kept wicket.[1][2]
Khan was one of the leading figures of Sind cricket in the decade before the partition of India. He represented the Muslims in the inaugural Bombay Pentangular in 1937–38.[2][3] He played first-class cricket from 1937–38 to 1947–48.[4]
In 29 first-class matches, Khan scored 635 runs at an average of 13.80, with two half-centuries and a highest score of 84.[1] His highest score came for Sind against Southern Punjab in the semi-final of the 1938–39 Ranji Trophy, when he made 84 in the first innings at Patiala.[5]
After his playing career, Khan served as a Karachi selector. He died in Karachi on 27 January 2002 after a prolonged illness.[3]
