Jahangir Shah Badshah (born 19 July 1949) is a Bangladeshi former cricketer who played in five One Day Internationals from 1986 to 1990. He is sometimes known on scoresheets by his nickname Badshah.
Shah made his debut in the national side in 1979, and until his retirement in 1990, he was the most reliable all-rounder of the side. He was the team's most effective new-ball bowler, and as a batsman he contributed in different positions, as a tail-ender, as a night watchman and occasionally also as an opener.
He was one of the players who took part in Bangladesh's first ever official ODI (against Pakistan at Moratuwa in 1986). Though he was out for a duck, he took 2/23 from 9 overs.[1]
Apart from being a successful cricketer, Shah was also a very competent footballer, and played for Abahani Krira Chakra until 1975.[2][3]
