Athar Ali (date of birth unknown) was an East Pakistani cricketer who played two first-class matches for East Pakistan during the 1954–55 season. A fast bowler, Athar's first recorded match came for an East Pakistan Governor's XI against a visiting team led by Pakistan captain Abdul Kardar, following the national side's 1952–53 tour of India.[1] His debut for East Pakistan came against a Combined Services team in November 1954, during the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which was the team's first match at first-class level.[2] In the match, played at the Club Ground in Dhaka, Athar opened the bowling with Pritish Dass in each innings, and took 3/46 in Services' first innings, dismissing Abdul Kardar, Herbert Stanley, and Shujauddin.[3] Athar's second and final match at first-class level came against the touring Indian national side in late December 1954, the first match of a three-month tour (and one of only two played in East Pakistan).[4] In that match, played at the Niaz Stadium in Chittagong, he took the wickets of Madhav Mantri and Vijay Manjrekar, bowling first change behind Munawwar Ali Khan and Ikram Elahi.[5] Athar did not play any further matches for East Pakistan, and thus finished his career with five wickets from two matches, at an average of 19.00.[6]
