Salim Durani (Pashto: سليم عزيز دراني; pronunciationⓘ; 11 December 1934 – 2 April 2023) was an Afghan-born Indian cricketer who played in 29 Test matches from 1960 to 1973.
An all-rounder, Durani was a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and a left-handed batsman famous for his six-hitting prowess.
Impressed by his wicket-keeping and batting performances for Nawanagar in their tour of Karachi in 1935, Abdul Aziz was offered a job as a sub-inspector by the then Jam Sahib Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji, which was when the Durani family settled in Jamnagar.
Also, a decade later, he would be instrumental in India's maiden victory[13] against the West Indies at Port of Spain, taking the wickets of Clive Lloyd and Gary Sobers.
He was living with his brother, Jahangir Durani, in Gujarat's Jamnagar and had undergone surgery for a thigh bone fracture earlier in the year.
