Ijaz Khan (Urdu: اعجاز خان; 9 November 1938 — 27 June 2019) known as Jahaz Khan was a first-class Pakistani cricketer who played for Lahore and Pakistan Railways between 1961/62 and 1973/74. Khan was described as ‘the finest off-break bowler, I faced in my entire career’ by his cousin Majid Khan, who was the leading Pakistan batsman of his era. Ijaz Khan could not convince the BCCP selectors in the 1960s, for national recognition. Instead it was his rivals, Haseeb Ahsan, Afaq Hussain, Salahuddin and his Railways colleague, Mohammad Nazir Jr who got the nod.[2][1][3] He was employed with the Pakistan Railways from 1958 to 1980.
