Asad Jahangir Khan (; born 25 December 1945) is a former first-class cricketer and senior police officer in Pakistan. He specialised in traffic policing and held the positions of Head of Traffic Police (Punjab), CCPO Karachi, Additional IG Sindh Police, and Inspector General Sindh Police, retiring in 2005.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
In 2017, he served on the governing body of the Sindh police museum. In 2019, he chaired the sub-committee, including former and current inspector-generals, that prepared a report on police reform.[6] [7] [8]
The son of Jahangir Khan and the elder brother of Majid Khan, Asad Jahangir Khan made his first-class debut in the 1964–65 season while studying at the University of the Punjab. He went to Keble College, Oxford in 1966, and played for the university team from 1967 to 1969. His best season was 1968, when he took 41 wickets with his off-spin in 14 matches, at an average of 28.80.[9] [10] [11]
Playing for an Oxford and Cambridge XI against the touring Australians in May 1968, he took 7 for 84, including the wickets of Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell and Bob Cowper.[12] Earlier that month he had taken 5 for 44 against Warwickshire, including the wickets of Rohan Kanhai and John Jameson.[13] In the next match, opening the batting with Fred Goldstein against Somerset, he made 50 not out in an unbroken partnership of 148.[14]
In 1969, his bowling fell away (three wickets in six matches) but he made 280 runs at 31.11, including his highest score of 92 against D.H. Robins' XI.[15] A week earlier he had made 81 not out against Kent to take Oxford to a one-wicket victory with a ball to spare.[16]
Khan returned to Pakistan and played a few matches for Lahore cricket teams in 1969–70 and 1970–71. His last first-class match was a semi-final of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in February 1971, playing for Lahore Greens, when he took 3 for 157 off 52 overs against Karachi Blues.[17]
