Rusi Nausherwan Dinshaw (7 February 1928  - 24 March 2014) was a Pakistani cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1948 to 1952.[1]

A left-handed batsman, Dinshaw played in both unofficial Tests when Ceylon toured Pakistan in 1949-50, without making a substantial score.[2] Later he was a member of the first Pakistan Test squad, which toured India in 1952–53. He never played in a Test, but he is the only Parsi to have ever been selected in a Pakistan Test squad.[3]
