Syed Wazir Ali (pronunciationⓘ; 15 September 1903 – 17 June 1950) was a prominent figure in early Indian cricket.

[2] For most of his first class career he played for Southern Punjab in the Ranji Trophy and Muslims in the Bombay Pentangular.

Wazir, like Nayudu, was a powerful right-hand bat who could play some very elegant strokes including a charming cover drive, and he was also a more than useful medium-pace change bowler.

What set the two men apart was that Wazir, eight years younger than Nayudu, did not possess the older man's determination and his obsession with the game.

Cashman quotes a Pakistani official that "during his last days, Wazir lived precariously on his own meagre savings in a small quarters in Soldiers Bazar where he struggled against poverty and disease".
