 Profile

A versatile wicketkeeper-batsman, who has became a more accomplished batsman as his career progressed to the extent he opened the batting at times for Transvaal in the Castle Cup in the absence of a genuine opening batsman. He is, however, better suited to the middle order where he can play his shots freely and without pressure. He joined Hampshire in 2002 and has enjoyed a successful time with them, exceeding 800 runs in every season since. His imminent qualification for England has surely come too late for him to gain international honours. He appeared for the Indian Cricket League's Delhi Giants team in March 2008.
