Malik Miran Bakhsh (20 April 1907 – 8 February 1991), also known as Miran Bux, was a Pakistani international cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1955.
Bakhsh made his first-class cricket debut in 1950, at the age of 43, representing Commander-in-Chief's Eleven.[1] Before his first-class debut, he played in two day matches against West Indies and Commonwealth cricket team.[1]
A tall off-spinner, he had taken five wickets in a two-day match against the touring West Indians in 1948/49, and 10 in another two-day match against the Commonwealth XI in 1949/50.[3] After his brief Test career ended, he continued playing first-class cricket in Pakistan until the 1958/59, when at the age of 51, he took four wickets in his last match playing for Rawalpindi against Peshawar.[4] His best bowling figures came in a match for Combined Services at Dacca in 1956/57, when he took 6 for 15 to help dismiss East Pakistan Whites for 33 runs.[5][6]
