Antao D'Souza (born January 17, 1939, Goa, Portuguese India) is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in six Tests from 1959 to 1962. He was the fourth Christian to play Test cricket for Pakistan.[1] He was a medium pace bowler and tail-end obdurate batsman. D'Souza toured England in 1962, heading the batting averages (53) as he remained not out in five of his six innings. Given a minimum of ten innings, D'Souza is one of only two Test cricketers, whose batting averages exceeded their highest score.[2] The other was the Indian cricketer, Sadashiv Shinde.[2] His bowling was as ineffective as everyone else on that tour, which Pakistan lost 0-4.
