Английская Википедия:Abdul Aziz (Sindh cricketer)
Abdul Aziz (Шаблон:Lang-ur), (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.[1]
Whilst batting in the first innings of the Quaid-e-Azam final against Pakistan Combined Services, 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.[1] It is believed the blow aggravated an existing undiagnosed heart condition. A player who does not bat in an innings is recorded in the scorecard as "absent"; Abdul Aziz is recorded as "absent" in the second innings, with a footnote explaining he was hurt but died.[2][3]
Two of Abdul Aziz's brothers also played first-class cricket: Abdul Kadir played one match for North-West Frontier Province;[4] Abdur Rasheed played 28 matches between 1953/54 and 1964/65.[5]
