1959: Australia win in India and Pakistan

Duncan Sharpe: Ango-Indian who played for Pakistan

Duncan Sharpe was born in Rawalpindi to an Anglo-Indian family before the partition.

He played only three Tests for Pakistan in late 1950s.

He was a middle-order batsman who scored 134 runs at an average above 22. In his debut Test at the Dacca Stadium in the 1959-60 season, Sharpe top-scored in both the innings with 56 and 35. However, his effort was not enough to stop Australia from registering a comprehensive eight-wicket win in the match.

Sharpe played 37 First-Class matches in his career, scoring 1,531 runs at an average close to 28. He scored two centuries and seven half-centuries in the First-Class format.

Sharpe migrated to Australia in 1960 and played for South Australia in Sheffield Shield cricket from 1962-65.
