About
Ghulam Mustafa Guard (12 December 1925 – 13 March 1978) was an Indian cricketer who played in two Test matches from 1958 to 1960. Ghulam Guard, 'a tall, high-shouldered man, who shuffled up to the wicket in twelve steps and ran the ball away from the right-handed batsmen at distinctly above medium pace, especially when fresh', was the first left-hander to open the bowling for India. At 6' 3", he was the tallest cricketer to play for India between Ladha Ramji in the 1930s and Abey Kuruvilla in the nineties.
