Showed stormy attitude in debut, yet remained empty handed in World Cup, 2 ‘disciples’ played for India

One such cricketer has been Amay Khurasia, who made his debut for India in 1999. In the same year, he was also selected in the ODI World Cup team played in England. But Amay’s hands remained empty. Because in the entire tournament, Captain Mohammad Azharuddin did not give a chance in the playing-XI in a single match. After this Amay could not play for India for a long time and played the last ODI in 2001.

Amay Khurasia did not even get a chance to play Test for India. Amay had made his first class debut at the age of 17. However, after 10 years, he got a chance to debut for India. Amay made his ODI debut on May 30, 1999 against Sri Lanka. In his very first international match, this left-handed batsman scored an inning of 57 runs in 45 balls while batting at number 5.

In 2001, before the Coca-Cola Cup in Sri Lanka, Amay again got a chance in Team India due to Sachin Tendulkar’s injury. But, Amay, who came to the team as a standby opener, could not capitalize on it and played his last match in 2001 itself.
