Amir Elahi (Punjabi: امیر الہی) (1 September 1908 – 28 December 1980) was one of the fifteen cricketers who have played Test cricket for more than one country.[1] This honor was given to him because he had earlier played Tests for India against Australia in 1947. He played 6 Tests in his career in which he participated in 5 Tests for Pakistan. He also played against India. In the first series for Pakistan, when he played in his last Test at Calcutta, he was 44 years old. After starting bowling as a medium pacer, he became a leg-spin bowler.
