Profile
A tall and well built man, befitting a sub inspector of police, Ghulam
Guard's Test appearances were restricted to two. A left arm medium
pace bowler, he made a fairly impressive debut against West Indies at
Bombay in 1958-59 at the age of 33. In the first innings he picked up
the wicket of Gary Sobers and in the second added the wickets of both
the openers Holt and Hunte. His only other appearance was also at
Bombay, against Australia in 1959-60 when he finished wicketless. In a
first class career that lasted from 1946 to 1963, Guard picked up 124
wickets (20.60). (Partab Ramchand)
