He played for Indian under 19 team and plays for Delhi in domestic in Indian domestic cricket.He has a high arm delivery action and is able to move the ball in both directions. He has shown is talent in CB series in Austraila and was in great form. He destroy Austrailan batting line up in early overs so that other ballers can capitalize on that.

He debut in test aganest Bangladeshat Dhaka, May 25-27. After that he debut ODI aganest South Africa at Belfast, Jun 29, 2007.

Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan) - The five-year ban imposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will not affect Shoaib
Akhtar's Indian Premier League (IPL) participation and the maverick pacer will play in the multi-million dollar
twenty20 series, BCCI vice-President and IPL chairman Lalit Modi said today.
"It is extremely clear in our player policy that the respective player will have to get an NOC from his home
country for joining the league. The home country can either issue or deny the NOC. In Shoaib's case, it has not
been denied," IPL Chirman and Commissioner Lalit Modi told reporters today.
Akhtar was handed a five-year ban yesterday for repeated indiscipline, virtually bringing the curtains down on
his international career.
However, the PCB has given him the go ahead to play in the IPL.
Akhtar has been signed by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's franchisee team Kolkata Knight Riders for a sum of
USD 4.25 lakh. The first season of IPL begins on April 18.
Ricky Ponting (Australia) - Most of Australia's one-day squad signed on the dotted line ahead of this week's
player "auction" but there were some notable absentees, including Clarke, Johnson, Brad Haddin, Stuart Clark
and Jason Gillespie.
The Australians were only cleared to play in the tournament this week after their national body reached an
agreement with IPL over a sponsorship dispute which had threatened their participation.
Ponting had said he feared players would turn their backs on their national teams if they were prevented from
joining the IPL.
He called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to create a separate window for the tournament to avoid a
clash with regular international tours.
International cricket has already been hit by a series of high-profile retirements in the past month involving
players who have signed with the IPL or the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL).
McCullum told the Dominion Post. "When I was signed for US$700,000 I was obviously blown away and having
slept on it, it's a great feeling and it's nice to get the recognition."
McCullum was the biggest winner from New Zealand while Oram picked up $675,000, Daniel Vettori $625,000,
Fleming $350,000 and Scott Styris $175,000. The paper reported Fleming texted "Sorry, can't at the moment, at
the bank" when asked for an interview. He later said he was "just pleased to get picked up". "I saw the amounts
of money being thrown around and I thought: `Wow, I hope they keep trading.' It was incredible to be involved
in."
Oram was speechless when his amount came through. "I was expecting nothing like what I went for," he said.
"Dan was first up and I was happy for him. I was hoping I'd be somewhere close to him, I always thought he
would be top dog."
The participation of Oram, Vettori and McCullum will be limited in the first year because their tour of England
begins on April 27, leaving them only a handful of chances to participate in the inaugural event.
"The players realise where their priority lies," Justin Vaughan, the New Zealand Cricket chief executive, said. "It
might hurt them in the pocket in the first year but the following two years are clear for them." There are no
problems for Fleming, who has retired, while Styris has stood down from Tests and will be available for all of
Hyderabad's matches.
Chris Gayle (West Indies) - A thrusting Jamaican left-hander, Gayle earned himself a black mark on his first
senior tour - to England in 2000 - where the new boys were felt to be insufficiently respectful of their elders. But
a lack of respect, for opposition bowlers at least, has served Gayle well since then. Tall and imposing at the
crease, he loves to carve through the covers off either foot, and has the ability to decimate the figures of even
the thriftiest of opening bowlers. In a lean era for West Indian cricket - and fast bowling in particular - Gayle's
pugnacious approach has become an attacking weapon in its own right. His 79-ball century at Cape Town in
January 2004, on the back of a South African first innings of 532, was typical of his no-holds-barred approach.
However, Gayle's good run ended when England came calling early in 2004, and he averaged 26 against their
potent pace attack - Steve Harmison, in particular, fancied his chances against Gayle, dismissing him four times
in seven innings, as a lack of positive footwork was exposed. But men with little footwork often baffle experts,
and after returning to form with an uncharacteristic century against Bangladesh, he exacted his revenge on
England's bowlers with a battering not seen since Lara's 400, before coming within a whisker of emulating Lara
himself, with a career-best 317 against South Africa in Antigua. In the disastrous 2005-06 tour of New Zealand
he led the batting in the three-Test series, piling 235 runs - no other West Indian touched the 200-run mark. He
also bowls brisk non-turning offspin, with which he has turned himself into a genuine one-day allrounder.
Maturing quickly, he has become a consistently prolific scorer in the ODIs.
David Hussey (Australia) - Australian cricketer David Hussey is flattered but embarrassed to know that he
attracted a higher price than his star compatriots such as captain Ricky Ponting and Brad Hodge at the players'
auction for Indian Premier League franchises.
Hussey, who has been purchased by Kolkata franchise for $625,000, said he initially thought the price was a
joke as it was 300,000 Aus dollars more than Ponting and 250,000 Aus dollar higher than legend Shane Warne.
"It was indescribable. I got told and then sat and said 'Are you taking the mickey out of me?' They said it was
genuine... It's just remarkable. It's very flattering," Hussey said.
But he was surprised that his Victorian teammate Brad Hodge, who has more international experience, was
overlooked.
"I just don't understand it. He's one of the best Twenty20 players in the world, no question. His record for
Lancashire and for Victoria is second to none. It doesn't make any sense at all," he said.
"I'm very surprised and I sort of feel a bit embarrassed. I think he (Hodge) is a better Twenty20 player than
myself and he's been overlooked. But I'm sure when the second round comes, when top-up players are required
he'll get picked up. He'd have to," he was quoted as saying by the 'Herald Sun'.
Hussey said his brother Mike, an established Test star for Australia who has been rated at$381,000 by the
Chennai franchise of IPL, was stunned to know the difference in their prices.
"He actually sent me a text message this morning and said, 'I can't believe you're worth double what I am,'"
Hussey said.
