Jahangir Khan was a cricketer who played for India and, after independence, for Pakistan. He was selected for India's first test match tour of England in 1932. After the tour, he stayed in England to study for a doctorate at Cambridge University. He was called to the Bar from Middle Temple. While at Cambridge Khan continued playing cricket, winning Blues in all four years. He also made two appearances in Gentlemen v Players matches. In 1935 he played for the Indian Gymkhana, scoring 1380 runs in two months. He played in the three tests of India's 1936 tour of England. Khan is famous for the sparrow incident in 1936 when he was playing for the university against MCC. While bowling to T. N. Pearce, the ball struck and killed a sparrow, which was subsequently stuffed and is now displayed in the museum at Lord's cricket ground. Khan retired from test cricket in 1956.
