This is a general [[glossary]] of the terminology used in the sport of [[cricket]]. Where words in a sentence are also defined elsewhere in this article, they appear in italics. Certain aspects of cricket terminology are explained in more detail in [[cricket statistics]] and the naming of fielding positions is explained at [[fielding (cricket)]].

Cricket is known for its rich terminology.<ref name=cric>{{cite news|url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/239756.html |title=A glossary of cricket terms|work=[[ESPNcricinfo]]|access-date=13 May 2008}}</ref><ref name=ecb>[http://static.ecb.co.uk/files/teacher-task-cards-glossary-of-cricket-terms-817.pdf ''Glossary of cricket terms''.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080528033119/http://static.ecb.co.uk/files/teacher-task-cards-glossary-of-cricket-terms-817.pdf |date=28 May 2008 }} [[England Cricket Board]].

==A==
{{glossary}}

{{term|term= Across the line}}
{{defn|defn= A ''shot'' which is played with the ''bat'' moving lateral to the direction of motion of the ''ball''. Used when the ''batter'' is aiming ''square'' or behind square, but requires excellent ''timing''. Considered risky, as mistiming the shot can result in a ''leading edge'', being ''strangled'', or missing the ball entirely and being ''out'' ''bowled'' or ''leg before wicket''.{{citation needed|date=February 2020}}}}

{{term|term= Action}}
{{defn|defn= See ''{{gli|bowling action}}''<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Agricultural shot}}
{{defn|defn= A powerful ''slog'' shot ''across the line'' (resembling a [[scythe|scything]] motion), played with little technique or ''footwork'', particularly one that damages the ''pitch'' with the ''bat''. May result in the ball going to ''cow corner''.<ref>Booth, pp. 2–3</ref><ref name=et_terms>{{cite news |last1=Majid |first1=Abdul |title=Did you know these sports terms? |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/871986/did-you-know-these-sports-terms/ |access-date=18 February 2020 |work=[[The Express Tribune]] |date=29 April 2015}}</ref>}}

{{term|term= Air}}
{{defn|defn= A ''delivery'' by a ''spin bowler'' on a higher trajectory than usual, typically phrased as 'giving it some air'. The term ''flight'' is a near synonym.<ref name=wisden_dict/> Can be combined with ''top spin'' or ''back spin'' to deceive the batter on the ''length'' of the delivery, or with ''off spin'' or ''leg spin'' to give the ball more time to ''drift''.}}

{{term|term= All out}}
{{defn|defn= An ''innings'' which has ended due to the batting side running out of ''wickets'', usually because ten of the eleven ''batters'' have been ''dismissed''. It also applies when, through a combination of ten ''dismissals'' and players who have ''retired'' or are absent hurt, the team has only one able ''batter'' remaining. The term is a slight misnomer, as there is always one batter left ''not out''.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= All-rounder |content= [[All-rounder]] }}
{{defn|defn=Traditionally, a player adept at both ''[[#batting|batting]]'' and ''[[#bowling|bowling]]''.<ref name=barclays>''Barclays World of Cricket – 2nd Edition'', 1980, Collins Publishers, {{ISBN|0-00-216349-7}}, pp 636–643.</ref> Some recent sources regard a ''[[#wicket-keeper-batter|wicket-keeper/batter]]'' as another type of all-rounder, but this usage is not universal.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Amateur}}
{{defn|no=1|A cricketer who plays for pleasure, not pay. A non-professional.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}
{{defn|no=2|[[Amateur status in first-class cricket|A former official distinction between players]] of differing [[social class]], important in 18th and 19th century England. Amateurs (also known as ''gentlemen'') were [[upper class]], had usually been to [[private school]] and/or [[Oxbridge]], and could claim [[expenses]] but not receive any other payment. Professionals (also known as ''players'') were [[working class]], paid [[wages]], and relied on cricket as their primary source of income. Most ''county cricket'' teams consisted of a mix of amateurs and professionals; the ''captain'' was always an amateur. The annual [[Gentlemen vs Players]] match pitched the two classes against each other. The distinction became obsolete in the early 20th century and was finally abolished in 1962.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Analysis}}
{{defn|defn=See ''{{gli|bowling analysis}}''<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Anchor}}
{{defn|defn= A ''batter'' who remains ''in'' for a long time, scoring at a moderate ''strike rate'' whilst preserving their ''wicket'' by avoiding risky ''shots''. A less defensive and more flexible version of a ''blocker''. ''Top-'' or ''middle-order'' batters may adopt an anchor role if the other batters experience a ''batting collapse''.<ref>Booth, pp. 10–11</ref>}}

[[File:Mashrafe Mortaza 01.jpg|thumb|right|upright|''Bowler'' [[Mashrafe Mortaza]] ''appeals'' for a ''wicket'' during the [[2015 Cricket World Cup]].]]
{{term|term= Appeal |content= [[Appeal (cricket)|Appeal]] }}
{{defn|defn= A ''bowler'' or ''fielder'' asking the ''umpire'' to ''dismiss'' the ''batter'', usually by shouting 'howzat' (how's that?). Variations include 'howzee' (how's he?), or simply turning to the umpire and [[cheering]].<ref name=barclays/> The umpire cannot give a batter ''out'' unless the fielding side appeals, even if the criteria for a dismissal have otherwise been met.<ref name=wisden_dict/> Batters who are obviously out (e.g. ''bowled'' or indisputably ''caught'') will normally ''walk'' from the field without waiting for an appeal.}}

{{term|term= Approach}}
{{defn|no=1|defn= The [[Approach (cricket)|motion of the bowler before bowling the ball]]; also known as the [[run-up (cricket)|run-up]].<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}
{{defn|no=2|defn= The ground a bowler runs on during their run up; e.g.: "Play was delayed because the bowler's approaches were slippery."{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}} }}

{{term|term= Arm ball |content= [[Arm ball]] }}
{{defn|defn= A ''variation'' bowled by a ''finger spinner'', which appears to be their ''stock ball'' but does not ''spin''. Such a ''delivery'' does not ''turn'' when bouncing but travels straight on i.e. following the ''line'' of the bowler's arm, hence the name. An arm ball might also ''swing''.<ref name=cric/>}}

{{term|term= Around the wicket}}
{{defn|defn= {{ghat|(or '''round the wicket''')}} A right-handed ''bowler'' passing to the right of the non-striker's stumps in their run-up, and vice versa for a left-handed ''bowler''. The opposite of ''over the wicket''.<ref name=barclays3/>}}

{{term|term= The Ashes |content= [[The Ashes]] {{anchor|Ashes, The}} }}
{{defn|defn= The trophy for the [[English cricket team|England]] v [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] ''Test match'' series.<ref name=wisden_dict/> The Ashes originated as a result of a satirical obituary published in a British newspaper, ''[[The Sporting Times]]'', in 1882 after a match at [[The Oval]] in which Australia beat England on an English ground for the first time. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body would be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. The English press dubbed the next English tour to Australia (1882–83) as the quest to regain The Ashes. During that tour a small terracotta urn was presented to England captain [[Ivo Bligh, 8th Earl of Darnley|Ivo Bligh]] by a group of Melbourne women. The urn is reputed to contain the ashes of one or two ''bails''.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Asking rate}}
{{defn|defn= See ''{{gli|required run rate}}''}}

{{term|term= Attacking field}}
{{defn|defn= A fielding configuration in which more fielders are close in to the ''pitch'' so as to take ''catches'' more readily, at the risk of allowing more runs to be scored.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}

{{term|term= Attacking shot}}
{{defn|defn= An aggressive or strong hit by the batter designed to score runs.<ref name=e119>Eastaway, p. 119.</ref>}}

{{term|term= Audi |content= [[Duck (cricket)#Related expressions|Audi]] }}
{{defn|defn=Two consecutive ''pairs'', or four consecutive ''ducks''. The term alludes to [[Audi]], a German car manufacturer, whose logo is four linked rings.<ref name="espn 2001-05-30">{{cite web |last1=Fleming |first1=Stephen |author1-link=Stephen Fleming |title=The sort of Audi that nobody wants |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-sort-of-audi-that-nobody-wants-106696 |website=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=20 November 2021 |date=30 May 2001}}</ref><ref name="espn 2012-05-28">{{cite web |last1=Lynch |first1=Steven |title=Which end of the bat do I hold?

{{glossary end}}

==B==
{{glossary}}
{{term|term= Back foot}}
{{defn|no=1|defn= When ''batting'', the foot that is closest to the ''stumps''. For a ''right-hand'' batter's ''stance'', the back foot is the right foot; for a left-hand batter it is the left foot.<ref name=wisden_dict/>}}
{{defn|no=2|defn= When ''bowling'', the foot which contacts the ground before the ''front foot'' i.e. the back foot is the second contact before the ball is released. Usually the back foot is also the ''bowling foot'', unless the bowler's ''action'' is off the ''wrong foot''.<ref name=e119/>}}

{{term|term= Back foot contact |content= [[Back foot contact]] }}
{{defn|defn= The point in a ''bowling action'' when the ''back foot'' lands on the ground, just before ''release'' of the ball.}}

{{term|term= Backing up}}
{{defn|no=1|defn= The ''non-striking'' ''batter'' leaving their crease during the ''bowler's'' ''action'', before the ''ball'' is ''released''. This shortens the distance the non-striker will need to cover to score a ''run'', if the ''striker'' completes a ''shot''. Backing up too far or too early risks a ''run out'', either by one of the ''fielders'', or by the ''bowler'' in a ''mankad''.<ref name=e119/> }}
{{defn|no=2|defn= A ''fielder'' placing themselves on the far side of the ''wicket'' from a team-mate who is throwing the ''ball'' at the ''stumps'' to attempt a ''run out''.

{{term|term= backlift |content= [[Backlift]] }}
{{defn|defn= Lifting the bat in preparation to hitting the ball.<ref name=e119/>}}

{{term|term= Badger}}

{{term|term= bad light}}
{{defn|defn= In a match played during the day, "bad light" refers to the umpires taking the players from the field because the ambient light has dimmed to the point that the ball has become difficult to see.

{{term|term= Baggy green |content= [[Baggy green]] }}
{{defn|defn= A cricket cap of [[Myrtle (colour)|myrtle green]] colour, which has been worn by Australian Test cricketers since around 1900. The cap is a symbol of Australian cricket, and the term is strongly associated with national cricketing pride.}}

{{defn|defn= One of the two small pieces of wood that lie on top of the ''stumps'' to form the ''wicket''.<ref name=ecb/>}}

{{defn|no=2|defn= A single ''delivery''. Each ''over'' contains six (legal) balls.<ref name=cric/>}}

{{term|term= Ball tampering |content= [[Ball tampering]]}}
{{defn|defn= Illegally modifying the condition of the ''ball'', usually by a ''fielder'' to facilitate ''swing bowling''. Ball tampering is a form of [[cheating#Sports|cheating]], so accusations are often controversial.}}

{{term|term= Ball tracking}}
{{defn|defn= A [[computer vision]] system that determines the location of the ''ball'', tracks its motion, and predicts its future trajectory. Used by the ''third umpire'' in the ''decision review system'' to assess ''LBW'' appeals, and by coaches or commentators to analyse player performances.<ref name=cric/> Common brands include [[Hawk-Eye]] and [[Virtual Eye|Eagle-Eye]],<ref>{{cite news |last1=Briggs |first1=Simon |title=The Ashes 2010: Hawk-Eye founder claims rival system is not being so eagle-eyed |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/theashes/8190200/The-Ashes-2010-Hawk-Eye-founder-claims-rival-system-is-not-being-so-eagle-eyed.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/theashes/8190200/The-Ashes-2010-Hawk-Eye-founder-claims-rival-system-is-not-being-so-eagle-eyed.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=7 August 2019 |date=9 December 2010| quote=Virtual Eye – or 'Eagle Eye', as it is known in Australia – has been developed by a New Zealand-based company, Animation Research Ltd, and has provided ball-tracking services for series in Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe.}}{{cbignore}}</ref> which are sometimes used as [[genericised trademark]]s for the concept.}}

{{term|term= Bat-pad}}
{{defn|defn= A fielder placed close to the batter on the leg side to catch the ball if it hits the bat and pad (in either order), and rises to a catchable height. Also a defence against being given out ''lbw'', that the ball may have hit the bat first, however indiscernible.<ref name=cric/>}}

{{term|term= Batter |content= [[Batting (cricket)|Batter]]}}
{{defn|defn= {{ghat|(colloquially, also '''batting player''', '''batter''', or '''bat''')}} A player on the batting side, or a player whose speciality is batting,<ref name=cric/> or one of the two members of the batting side who are currently at the crease.

{{defn|defn= When several batters are dismissed in rapid succession for very few runs. The terms ''top order collapse'' or ''middle order collapse'' may refer to batting collapses in a specific part of the ''batting order''.}}

{{term|term= Batting for a draw}}
{{defn|defn= Defensive ''batting'' in a ''timed match'' by a team with little chance of victory, who are instead attempting to salvage a ''draw''. The ''batters'' seek to survive as many ''balls'' as possible before losing their ''wicket'', without attempting to score many ''runs'' and avoiding aggressive ''shots''. Sometimes regarded as boring to watch, and sometimes as producing tense finishes.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Gates |first1=Zachary |title=In an era of change, the draw must remain in Test cricket |url=https://www.theroar.com.au/2015/12/09/in-an-era-of-change-the-draw-must-remain-in-test-cricket/ |access-date=10 September 2019 |work=The Roar |date=8 December 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Knox |first1=Malcolm |title=England resurrect the lost art of batting for a draw |url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/england-resurrect-the-lost-art-of-batting-for-a-draw-20130824-2shtk.html |access-date=10 September 2019 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=23 August 2013 |language=en}}</ref>}}

{{term|term= Beamer |content= [[Beamer (cricket)|Beamer]] }}
{{defn|defn= A ''delivery'' that reaches the ''batter'' above waist height without bouncing. This is illegal and an automatic ''no-ball''.<ref name=cric/> Further sanctions are applied to repeat offences, though the exact rules have changed several times. Since 2019, if the ''umpire'' believes that the beamer was dangerous and risked injury to the batter, they issue a first and final warning to the ''bowler''; a second dangerous delivery results in the bowler being banned from bowling for the remainder of that ''innings''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Change to Law 41.7 (from 1st April 2019) |url=https://www.lords.org/assets/Uploads/Law-Change-41.7-v6.pdf |website=Lord's |publisher=[[Marylebone Cricket Club]] |access-date=17 February 2020 |date=13 November 2018 |quote=There is no longer a 'catch-all' sanction, but umpires are instead required to use their best judgement to determine whether a delivery is dangerous.

{{term|term= Beat the bat}}
{{defn|defn= When a ''batter'' narrowly avoids touching the ball with the edge of their bat, through good fortune rather than skill. Considered a moral victory for the ''bowler''.

{{term|term= Beehive}}
{{defn|defn= A diagram showing where a number of balls, usually from a particular bowler, have passed the batter.<ref name="Hawk-eye innovations">{{cite web|url=http://www.hawkeyeinnovations.co.uk/?page_id=1012 |title=Hawk-eye innovations |publisher=Hawk-eye innovations |access-date=2013-08-02}}</ref> Compare pitch map.}}

{{term|term= Beer match}}
{{defn|defn= In club cricket, where the scheduled game ends early, a friendly match concocted to fill in time, originally where licensing hours would have prevented the teams from retiring to the pub, but also for love of the game. Often played with an unusual format, such as "reverse batting order", "every outfielder must bowl", or "bats retire at 25". }}

{{term|term= Belter}}
{{defn|defn= A belter of a pitch is a pitch offering advantage to the batter.<ref name=cric/>}}

{{term|term= Best bowling}}
{{defn|defn= The ''bowling analysis'' with the most ''wickets'' taken in an ''innings''; the fewest ''runs'' conceded are used as a tie-breaker. This can be used to compare different ''bowlers'' within a single ''match'', or to highlight the best performance by an individual over an extended period, such as a ''season'' or their whole career. The equivalent for batters is the ''high score''.}}

{{term|term= Biffer }}{{Anchor|Biffer}}
{{defn|defn= slang term for an attacking batter. A biffer is the opposite of a blocker, being a defending player. In earlier times (particularly pre-[[World War II]]) cricketers were either [[amateur]] (''Gentlemen'') or [[professional]] (''Players''). Typically, but not universally, amateurs would be "biffers" and professionals "blockers". The word derives from the slightly [[Archaism|archaic]] [[transitive verb]], "biff" which means "hit". Today, biffers tend to be known as ''big hitters''.}}

{{term|term= Bite}}
{{defn|defn= the turn a spin bowler is able to produce on a pitch.<ref name=bbc/>}}

{{term|term= Block |content= [[Batting (cricket)#block|Block]] }}
{{defn|defn= A defensive ''shot'', intending to stop the ''ball'' safely without attempting to score ''runs''. The most common form of block is the ''forward defensive''.<ref name=e120/> }}

{{term|term= Blocker}}{{Anchor|Blocker}}
{{defn|defn= slang term for a defensive or slow-scoring batter, the opposite of biffer. In earlier times (particularly pre-[[World War II]]) cricketers were either [[professional]] or [[amateur]]. Typically, but not universally, amateurs would be "biffers" and professionals "blockers". The word derives from the natural tendency of such batters to "block" each [[Bowling (cricket)|delivery]], rather than try to score [[Run (cricket)|runs]]. Such players tend to have low [[Strike rate (cricket)|strike rates]], but in many cases high [[Batting average (cricket)|averages]] due to their lack of aggressive shots giving bowlers less chances to dismiss them. They are typically less effective in [[limited overs]] cricket where quick scoring is often needed, though some are able to adapt their game to score quicker in the shorter formats of the game.}}

{{term|term= Block hole}}
{{defn|defn= the gap between the bottom of the ''bat'' and the ''batter's'' toes. This area is the target for a ''yorker'', as it is difficult to ''block'' unless the batter is expecting it.<ref name=e120/>}}

{{term|term= Blob}}
{{defn|defn= See ''{{gli|duck}}''}}

{{term|term= Bodyline |content= [[Bodyline]] (or fast leg theory)}}
{{defn|defn= a historical tactic involving ''fast bowling'' aimed at the ''batter's'' body with numerous close fielders placed on the ''leg side''. Bodyline was developed in the early 1930s and used by England (who called it "fast [[leg theory]]") during the [[1932–33 Ashes Tour]]. The tactic was highly controversial, leading to accusations of unsporting behaviour and deliberately attempting to injure or intimidate the batters. Changes to the rules were brought it to outlaw dangerous deliveries and to limit the number of leg-side fielders and ''bouncers'', making bodyline obsolete.<ref name=cric/>}}

{{term|term= Boot Hill}}
{{defn|defn= Another term for short leg, the least liked and most dangerous of the fielding positions. The term is derived from this potential for getting hit by the ball, being a reference to the [[Boot Hill]]s of the [[American West]], graveyards for those who "[[Die with your boots on|died with their boots on]]".

{{defn|defn= A type of ''ball'' introduced during the 20th century to facilitate ''day/night matches'', being easier to see under [[floodlight]]s. Its construction is very similar to the ''red ball'', but the surface is bleached white, rather than dyed.

Compared to the ''red ball'', white balls wear more quickly, generally becoming too worn for use after about 30 ''overs'' (a 50-over innings uses two white balls, usually one from each end).

'''Gori Kothapally''', also known as '''Kothapallegori / Kothapallygori''', is a village and a newly formed mandal. It was formerly a part of the erstwhile [[Regonda]] mandal in the [[Jayashankar Bhupalpally district]] which was carved out of [[Warangal district]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jayashankar Bhupalpally District {{!}} Welcome to Jayashankar Bhupalpally District {{!}} India |url=https://bhoopalapally.telangana.gov.in/ |access-date=2023-09-30 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=telugu |first=NT News |date=2023-01-07 |title=భూపాలపల్లిలో మరో కొత్త మండలం |url=https://www.ntnews.com/telangana/kothapalli-gori-was-formed-as-mandal-917983 |access-date=2023-10-01 |website=www.ntnews.com |language=te-IN}}</ref> within the Indian state of [[Telangana]].

== History ==
Gori Kothapally village boasts a rich history that dates back to the 1860s when it was established by '''Mohammed Immam Ghori''',<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kothapalligori, Regonda Village information |url=https://soki.in/kothapalligori-regonda-warangal |access-date=2023-09-30 |website=soki.in}}</ref> the feudal monarch (Dora) of the erstwhile [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad state]] in [[British India]]. It was under his leadership that the village earned its name as 'Gori.' With his guidance, the village's infrastructure saw development, driven by his sons and grandsons, until governance transitioned to the Government of India following the [[Annexation of Hyderabad]] through '''Operation Polo'''. Mohammed Immam Ghori played a pivotal role in planning the village's layout and designing route maps for the surrounding areas.

One of his notable contributions was the construction of lakes and wells in all four directions of the village, which continue to serve as vital sources of irrigation for the region. He encouraged people to settle in the village, providing them with livelihood opportunities and thus further enriching the area's prosperity. Remarkably, he planted mango groves on both sides of the roads leading to the village in all four directions, transforming previously infertile land into fertile grounds suitable for cultivation.

The '''Indian Cricketing League''' ('''ICL''') was a private [[cricket]] league funded by [[Zee Entertainment Enterprises]] that operated between 2007 and 2009 in India. Its two seasons included tournaments between four international teams (World XI, [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Bangladesh]]) and separate tournaments between nine domestic teams notionally located in major Indian cities as well as [[Lahore]], Pakistan and [[Dhaka]], Bangladesh.

The matches were played in the [[Twenty20]] format, and was the first domestic Twenty20 league in India. There was also a planned domestic [[Limited overs cricket|50-over]] tournament, but this did not happen. The ICL lacked the support of the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] and [[International Cricket Council]], which placed it at a major disadvantage when compared to other cricket competitions.

In 2008 the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] launched the their own [[Indian Premier League]]. ICL was an unsanctioned league. It was dubbed as a "rebel league" by the Indian media due to its fights with BCCI.<ref name=":0" />

Eventually, bans were issued to all the players who participated in the ICL by the BCCI, which caused the league to fold in 2009.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |last1=Ajita Shashidhar |first1=Suveen Sinha and |title=League of Notions |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/cover-story/biggest-india-innovation-indian-premier-league/story/205821.html |access-date=12 July 2020 |publisher=[[Business Today (India)|Business Today]] |date=25 May 2014}}</ref>

==Background==
'Rebel' cricket leagues and fixtures played without backing from international boards and the [[International Cricket Council]] had been attempted before. Most notably, [[World Series Cricket]], introduced in 1977 by broadcasting tycoon [[Kerry Packer]], had proved the viability of cricket as a commercial product despite the league's short lifespan. In the 1980s, many international cricketers [[Rebel tours|toured South Africa]] whilst the country was under a [[Sporting boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era|sporting boycott]] due to [[apartheid]], often sponsored by private companies. Both these attempts resulted in pushback from international cricket authorities. World Series Cricket were the subject of litigation, and were not perimitted to use recognised cricket stadiums or language like 'Test Match', so had to instead use stadiums intended for other sports and invent new terminology such as 'Supertest'. In the case of the latter, many cricketers received bans from their respective national teams for participating in these tours. As a result, the tours eventually came to an end, a few years before apartheid ended in South Africa and the sporting boycott was lifted.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rebel tours to South Africa may get ICC recognition |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/rebel-tours-to-south-africa-may-be-recognised-308994 |access-date=2022-04-07 |website=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In the early 2000s, the [[England and Wales Cricket Board]] (ECB) were looking for a way to market the game to a younger audience. Their solution was a new [[Twenty20|twenty-over competition]] to be played between counties. The resulting [[T20 Blast|Twenty20 Cup]], later renamed the T20 Blast, was a success and drew large crowds during its first season in 2003. Similar competitions sprung up in [[Pakistan]], [[Australia]] and the [[West Indies]]. Eventually, the ICC sanctioned the first official [[ICC Men's T20 World Cup|Men's T20 World Cup]] in [[2007 Twenty20 Cricket World Championship|2007]].

The [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] sent a young side to participate in the World Cup, due to their skepticism over the format's viability. Despite their inexperience, the Indian side won the tournament. Two months later, the inaugural season of the Indian Cricket League began without backing from the BCCI, who deemed the participants 'rebels' and excluded them from the Indian side.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-11-30 |title=Remembering Indian Cricket League, the 'rebel' that led to IPL would have turned 10 today |url=https://www.firstpost.com/firstcricket/sports-news/remembering-indian-cricket-league-the-rebel-that-led-to-ipl-would-have-turned-10-today-4235115.html |access-date=2022-04-07 |website=Firstpost |language=en}}</ref>

==League structure==
Each team was coached by a former international cricketer and composed of four international, two Indian and eight budding domestic players. Essel Group also planned to set up cricket academies all over the country. The [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) was assured that it was free to draw from ICL's talent pool. The league became active in November 2007 with matches in the Twenty20 format.

Former international cricketers including Anjingsora Risora, [[Tony Greig]], [[Dean Jones (cricketer)|Dean Jones]] and [[Kiran More]] were hired as board members of the Indian Cricket League.<ref>{{cite news |author = Cricinfo staff|url = http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/294055.html|title = Zee Sports denies signing of stars|publisher = Cricinfo|date = 14 May 2007|access-date = 2007-06-13}}</ref> The board positions were to be paid positions.<ref>{{cite news|first = Roma|last = Khanna|url = http://www.cricketnext.com/news/bccis-own-now-have-a-new-job/24999-13.html|title = BCCI's own now have a new job|publisher = CricketNext|date = 14 May 2007|access-date = 2007-06-13|archive-date = 16 June 2007|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070616085039/http://www.cricketnext.com/news/bccis-own-now-have-a-new-job/24999-13.html|url-status = dead}}</ref>

=== City Teams ===
*Nine of the teams were club teams located in major cities in India, as well as [[Lahore]] in Pakistan and [[Dhaka]] in Bangladesh. These teams participated in two of the ICL's competitions: the Indian Championship and the Grand Championship. The Indian Championship originally did not include Lahore or Ahmedabad, which were introduced in the Grand Championship later that season. The Dhaka team were introduced in the 2008-09 Indian Championship, the only competition to feature all 9 teams.

==Reasons for creation==
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2008}}

=== The "Inverted Pyramid" cricket structure ===

There was a wide disparity between the facilities enjoyed by the national team and the regional ones. This made the regional players far from finished products when they are called to represent their country, preventing a huge country like India from having adequate reserve strength in the national squad when key players are injured or retire. Also, the regional cricket boards depend on the BCCI for hand-outs of funds for infrastructure and grassroots development. The players who are entrenched at the top have strong backing from sports management firms and also can afford the best in personal trainers, physiotherapists and technical consultants, which are well beyond the scope of the average player.

===Zee Telefilms desire to create sports content===

Cricket played in India generates Rs. 10 billion in advertising and subscription revenue and Essel Group chairman [[Subhash Chandra]] had been acutely aware of his company missing out on this money. The Essel group had expressed a keen desire to help India develop cricketing talent, as well as provide lucrative sports programming for Zee Telefilms, which lost out on the rights to broadcast all BCCI-sanctioned cricket matches in India until 2011.

Essel Group had originally launched [[Zee Sports]] earlier with the anticipation of securing at least some of the BCCI telecast rights in 2006. This was followed by Zee acquiring 50 percent in [[TEN Sports]] in November 2006 for Rs. 2.57 billion. This gave the company a few international cricket rights – West Indies, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

During his battle with BCCI and [[ESPN Star Sports]] for the five-year telecast rights in August–September 2004 in the [[Bombay High Court]], Chandra was present every day for the hearings. Despite Zee bidding the highest at $307 million, BCCI and its then president [[Jagmohan Dalmiya]] denied him the rights.

The pain of denial had been with Chandra since 2000 when the ICC World Cup rights were sold to [[NewsCorp]]'s Global Cricket Corporation (GCC) for $550 million despite Zee bidding the highest at $650 million citing Zee's insufficient sports marketing experience.

In August 2005, Zee again emerged as a forerunner with a pitch of over $340 million while ESPN Star Sports, the other principal contender, was believed to have offered around $325 million. BCCI took the stance that Zee was not qualified as a specialist broadcaster and refused to consider Zee's proposal. The matter expectedly went to court and [[Doordarshan]] emerged the beneficiary.

Chandra then tried the political route too and supported [[Sharad Pawar]]'s candidature as BCCI president against Dalmiya. Pawar emerged victorious but not Chandra. In the last round of bidding in February 2006, it was [[NEO Cricket|Nimbus]] who bagged BCCI's telecast rights till 2011 for $613 million with Zee trailing at $513 million.

Since there was a Zee-Nimbus alliance before the bidding, media pundits thought Nimbus' bid was a Zee front. But Nimbus chose to go its own way and launched its own sports network – [[NEO Sports]]. In 2012, Star Sports bought broadcasting rights for international and domestic matches in India for more than $550 million.

==Support for the league==

The ICL received some support from unexpected quarters. There was a fear that lack of access to infrastructure, like the premier cricket stadiums, would limit the success of the operation of the league, but support from various government bodies boosted the league. Camps were held at [[Mayajaal]] in [[Chennai]], a private resort with adequate cricket facilities.<ref>{{cite news |first = Anand|last = Vasu|url = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/307932.html|title = ICL to hold camp at Mayajaal in Chennai|publisher = cricinfo.com|date = 22 August 2007|access-date = 2007-08-23}}</ref> The then head of Indian Railways [[Lalu Prasad Yadav]] showed his backing by opening all the cricket stadiums controlled by the Indian Railways to the league. Describing the ICL as a "good initiative", Prasad issued a statement saying that the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] and ICL should each come up with a cricket team and play against each other to show who's the best. The state government of [[West Bengal]] also agreed to rent its cricket grounds, notably [[Eden Gardens]], to the league.<ref>{{cite news |author = Press Trust of India |url = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/icl/content/story/308020.html|title = State minister allows ICL use of Eden Gardens|publisher = cricinfo.com|date = 23 August 2007|access-date = 2007-08-23}}</ref> In Ahmedabad, [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation]] provided its [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad|Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium]] for matches.

==Controversy==

===BCCI Response===

The BCCI refused to recognise the ICL as a cricket league, and criticised [[Kiran More]] and [[Kapil Dev]] for joining the ICL.<ref>{{cite news |author = Press Trust of India |url = http://inhome.rediff.com/cricket/2007/jun/13icl.htm|title = BCCI shoots down ICL| work = Rediff.com|date = 13 June 2007|access-date = 2007-06-13}}</ref> Kapil Dev's association with ICL was seen by the establishment as a conflict of interest as he was also the chairman of [[National Cricket Academy]], a BCCI owned cricket facility.<ref>{{cite news |first=Sudhakar|last=Shanbhag|url = http://www.cricketworldcuplatest.com/news/bcci-not-to-recognise-zee-promoted-indian-cricket--113086.html|title = BCCI Not To Recognise Zee-Promoted Indian Cricket League| publisher = Worldcuplatest.com|date = 13 June 2007|access-date = 2007-06-13}}</ref> On 21 August 2007 Kapil Dev was sacked from his NCA post.<ref>{{cite news |author = Press Trust of India |url = http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2007/aug/21kapil.htm|title = Kapil sacked as NCA Chairman| work = Rediff.com|date = 21 August 2007|access-date = 2007-08-21}}</ref> Subhash Chandra had earlier stated that the ICL will go ahead regardless of the BCCI's stance. The [[International Cricket Council]] gave a statement through its chief executive, [[Malcolm Speed]], that the ICC would not recognize the ICL unless the BCCI chooses to recognise it. The ICC looks at the ICL as an issue to be sorted out by the BCCI. On 25 July 2012 Kapil Dev informed BCCI that he had resigned from the ICL.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/kapil-dev-resigns-from-icl-returns-to-bcci/16172| title=Kapil Dev resigns from ICL, returns to BCCI| publisher=Wisden India| access-date=25 July 2010| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130314201217/http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/kapil-dev-resigns-from-icl-returns-to-bcci/16172| archive-date=14 March 2013| url-status=dead}}</ref>

Faced with the threat of young players joining the ICL, the BCCI jacked up prize money for winners, runners-up and losing semi-finalists across all tournaments. An average domestic cricketer can hope to make around Rs 35,000 per match day from the season of 2007–08: more than double the Rs 16,000 they got in 2005–06. The BCCI has also planned to do away with honorary selectors, who will be paid professionals from September 2008 onwards.<ref>{{cite news |author = Press Trust of India |url = http://www.rediff.com/cms/print.jsp?docpath=/cricket/2007/aug/21hike.htm|title = BCCI hikes domestic match fees| work = Rediff.com|date = 21 June 2007|access-date = 2007-08-22}}</ref>

The BCCI started its own international Twenty20 league. The official league, which launched in April 2008, is called the [[Indian Premier League]]. The league model is based on the franchise model of the [[National Football League]] and [[Major League Baseball]] in the US.<ref>{{cite news |author = Jamie Alter |url = http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/current/story/310809.html|title = International Twenty20 league launched| publisher = Cricinfo.com|date = 13 September 2007|access-date = 2007-09-13}}</ref>

====ICL takes BCCI to court====
{{More citations needed section|date=May 2010}}
In August 2007, the ICL filed a petition against the BCCI in the Delhi High Court accusing the BCCI of threatening and intimidating them and other state organisations, and asked the court to stop BCCI from interfering with its attempts to sign up players for its tournaments.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2007-08-25|title=ICL moves court against BCCI|url=http://beta.dawn.com/news/262924/icl-moves-court-against-bcci|access-date=2021-04-19|website=DAWN.COM|language=en}}</ref> It also petitioned that the BCCI stop trying to "out-hire" cricket stadiums in India that are owned by the state governments, in anti-competitive attempts to stop the ICL from using them to play matches.

On 27 August 2007, the Delhi High Court ruled in favour of the ICL. In its ruling, the Delhi High Court said that players should not suffer in the battle between corporate giants. The court has issued notices to all corporate sponsors, the state cricket associations & the BCCI against terminating valid contracts of players joining the ICL.<ref>{{cite news

}}</ref>

The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) of India had asked its Director-General of Investigation to do an initial investigation into the BCCI's action against players who had joined the ICL. The investigation was based on media reports of the BCCI giving an open statement that it would ban players who join ICL. It was also reported in the media that all state associations, under direction from the BCCI, have cancelled contracts with players.<ref>{{cite news

| title = Cricket row under MRTPC scanner

=== Pressure on players from other national organisations ===
In considering rejoining the ICL former England wicketkeeper Paul Nixon was said to have put his career in jeopardy because any player that signs up with the ICL, which does not have official status from the International Cricket Council, risks losing their registration.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/twenty20/3114957/Paul-Nixon-puts-county-career-in-jeopardy-by-rejoining-rebel-Indian-Cricket-League.html | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=Paul Nixon may put county career in jeopardy by rejoining 'rebel' Indian Cricket League | first=Nick | last=Hoult | date=1 October 2008 | access-date=5 May 2010}}</ref>

The addition of a new team from [[Dhaka]] in Bangladesh, consisting largely of Bangladesh internationals caused more controversy as the cricket board of that country banned the players for 10 years for joining the 'rebel' ICL.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/bangladesh/7621276.stm | work=BBC News | title=Bangladesh vow to ban ICL rebels | date=17 September 2008 | access-date=5 May 2010}}</ref> Faced with the departure of so many players the board appealed to other Bangladeshi players to reject the new ICL team, stay loyal to the board and embrace the opportunity to play for their country.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080916215554/http://sify.com/sports/fullstory.php?id=14759551 Dhaka tries to stop more cricketers from joining ICL]. Sify.com (16 September 2008). Retrieved on 2013-12-23.</ref>

== Downfall of the ICL ==
{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2010}}

The future of ICL became uncertain when BCCI banned ICL players from playing international matches. Since then many ICL players have returned to their national team including famous players like [[Shane Bond]] (retired) and [[Abdul Razzaq (cricketer)|Abdul Razzaq]] (also retired).

BCCI after seeing the success of ICL wanted to start their own league called [[Indian_Premier_League|IPL<ref>[https://ipllivestreams.com/ today ipl match prediction]. ipllivestreams.com (March 2023). Retrieved on 2023-03-27.</ref>]]. Due to this, the BCCI began to ban players and stadiums associated with the ICL.

Shortly before the conclusion of the inaugural tournament, the ICL announced its plans for expansion, which include a fifty over tournament in February 2008, and the expansion of the ICL Indian Championship to eight teams for the second tournament, due to be held in September and October 2008. However, the ICL eventually came to an end after all its players dropped out. This was because of the offer of amnesty given by BCCI to players choosing to leave the ICL.

=== Transparency issues ===
{{Unreferenced section|date=May 2010}}
Independent analysts have had difficulty gauging the financial viability of the ICL due to the lack of transparency of the league's operations. Terms of contracts are hidden and advertising revenue from match telecasts – considered to be a major contributor to revenues – have never been disclosed. Because they are unsanctioned by the ICC, the teams do not have access to the best facilities across the whole country or access to the best players, limiting their ability to generate high gate revenues. This lack of transparency leads to questions regarding the overall viability of the ICL's business model.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}

==Broadcasting of ICL==
Since the ICL was conducted by Zee Telefilms, the ICL was broadcast in most domains on the Zee network.<ref>http://www.indiancricketleague.in/news/inner-news.aspx?xfile=data/news/2008/October/news_20081007_20.xml{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

=== Broadcasting ban ===
In November 2008, the Bangladeshi government set a ban on the broadcasting of live matches of the ICL on the privately held Diganta TV channel in the country. This would extend to the ICL World Series featuring the country's national team.<ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=8f2e6595-6447-4110-b354-d3d1595530d0 Bangladesh govt bans ICL coverage]{{dead link|date=August 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}.

In December 1972 the format for the open event was changed to a closed event (Asian players only) and played as team only competition called the '''Asian Amateur Championships''' whereby a country sends teams of players to compete in singles, doubles and mixed doubles events. Unlike the Davis Cup its not a [[Round-robin tournament|round robin tournament]]. It was first played at [[King's Park, Hong Kong|Kings Park, Kowloon]], [[Hong Kong]]. The tournament was played at other locations until 1973 when it was discontinued as part of the [[ILTF Independent Tour]].<ref name="tb"/>

==History==
On 22 December 1949 the International Championships of Asia were inaugurated at the Calcutta South Club, [[Calcutta]], [[India]].<ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/> The tournament was concluded on 1 January 1950 the first winners of the singles events were Indian player [[Dilip Kumar Bose]],<ref name="tb"/> and American player [[Patricia Canning Todd]]. In 1968 the men's edition was held in Calcutta, the women's in Bangalore. The open Asian Championships ran annually until 1972 when it was last held in [[Poona]], India, that year two editions of the tournament were held the normal winter edition, and a one off summer event called the Asian Championships Invitation.<ref name="tb"/> The final winners of open international winter edition in the singles events were the Indian player [[Jaidip Mukerjea]] (men's),<ref name="tb"/> the Indian player Kiran Peshawaria (women's).

The summer edition of this tournament was played in Singapore. The winner of the men's singles in the invitation event was [[Ramanathan Krishnan]].<ref name="tb"/> This tournament was then discontinued from the [[ILTF Independent Tour].<ref name="tb"/> The championships were held in the following locations throughout its run in [[Bangalore]], [[Calcutta]], [[Colombo]], [[Lahore]], [[Manila]], [[New Delhi]], [[Poona]] and [[Singapore]].<ref name="tb"/> The [[ILTF Independent Tour]],<ref name="tb"/> a series of worldwide tournaments not part of the men's [[Grand Prix circuit|Grand Prix Circuit]] or women's the [[WTA Tour]]

In July 1971 at an annual general meeting of the ILTF it was decided to change the format of the open international championships and make it a closed Asian only team event.<ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/> The ILTF provided the finances to stage the event that was to be held from 20 to 26 February 1972 at [[King's Park, Hong Kong|King's Park, Kowloon]] in then what was [[British Hong Kong]].<ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/> Thirteen countries were invited to send teams including Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ian, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.<ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/>

The Asian Amateur Championships were held only once the winner of the men's singles event was won by Japan's [[Toshiro Sakai]] (men's),<ref name="tb"/><ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/> and the doubles event was won by Japan's [Toshiro Sakai]] and [[Jun Kamiwazumi]].<ref name="Robertson & Kramer"/>

The '''Pakistan Cricket Board''' ('''PCB''') formerly known as '''Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan''', is a [[sports governing body]] for cricket in Pakistan responsible for controlling and organising all tours and matches undertaken by the [[Pakistan national cricket team]]. A [[List of International Cricket Council members|member of the International Cricket Council]] since 1952, it represents the country's [[Pakistan national cricket team|men's]] and [[Pakistan women's national cricket team|women's]] national teams in [[international cricket]] tournaments played under the ICC.<ref name="Live Cricket Scores & News International Cricket Council 2017">{{cite web | title=International Cricket Council | website=Live Cricket Scores & News International Cricket Council | date=2017-01-31 | url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/members/asia/full/20 | access-date=2020-12-17}}</ref>

Following the establishment of Pakistan as an independent [[dominion]] of the [[British Empire]] in 1947, professional and amateur cricket commenced in the same year, seeing as local infrastructure had already been established when the country was part of the [[British Raj]]. Cricket matches were arranged informally until 1948, when a Board of Control was formally instituted. Pakistan was admitted to the [[Imperial Cricket Conference]] (currently known as International Cricket Council) in July 1952, and has since been a full member, playing Test cricket. The team's first Test series took place [[Pakistani cricket team in India in 1952–53|in India between October and December 1952]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-10-22 |title=A look at the first meetings of Pakistan vs India cricket rivalry |url=https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2021/10/22/a-look-at-the-first-meetings-of-pak-vs-india-cricket-rivalry/ |access-date=2022-06-11 |website=Pakistan Today |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Inaugural Board of Control ==
The Pakistan Cricket Board was inaugurated on 1 May 1949 as the Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan (BCCP).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bowen |first=Rowland |title=Some dates in Pakistan cricket history |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/152363.html |access-date=2022-06-11 |website=[[ESPNcricinfo]]}}</ref> The first meeting, held in the committee rooms of Lahore Gymkhana, saw HE [[Iftikhar Hussain Khan Mamdot]], the [[Nawab of Mamdot]], made president and chairman, with Justice [[Alvin Robert Cornelius|A. R. Cornelius]] as one of three vice-presidents. The following year, Cornelius became chairman of the working committee, until he relinquished his connection with the board in early 1953.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Latif |first=Najum |date=2020-11-14 |title=Justice Cornelius, Father of Pakistan Cricket |url=https://www.scoreline.org/justice-cornelius-father-of-pakistan-cricket/ |access-date=2022-06-11 |website=ScoreLine |language=en}}</ref>

The working chairman was always one of the three vice-presidents. In April 1957, [[Ayub Khan (Field Marshal)|Ayub Khan]] imposed three more new vice-presidents (himself being one of them). Then between December 1958 and September 1969 the post of vice-president disappeared.

==Committees==
The response to turmoil within the board has on four occasions been to suspend the rules and appoint an ad hoc committee. The first ad hoc committee was appointed in September 1960 and did not disband until May 1963 having created a new constitution. The President of Pakistan would now nominate the board president who would in turn nominate the other members of the executive committee to sit for a period of three years. Representatives of the four provincial cricket associations and Government departments formed the executive committee.

The BCCP was re-organised in the 1970s and was headed by former cricketers, professional administrators and trustees, who were often businessmen.<ref name=":0" /> In November 1976 players' demands for increased salaries reached a crisis and the Pakistan Sports Board took over running the B.C.C.P.'s affairs. Long-serving president, the formidable Kardar, was in the thick of the dispute. The revolt against Kardar forced him to resign in May 1977 and led to a new Ad Hoc Committee replacing the Board Council in 1978 running Pakistan cricket and again changing the constitution. Provincial Cricket Associations were eliminated and divisional and city CAs became members, giving most of the influence to the city Cricket Association of Lahore and Karachi.

The Board now governed a network of teams sponsored by corporations and banks, city associations and clubs.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=http://www.pakistaneconomist.com/2019/02/18/pcb-making-all-out-support-to-bring-international-cricket-back-into-the-country/|title=PCB making all out support to bring international cricket back into the country|date=2019-02-18|agency=Pakistan & Gulf Economist|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-11}}</ref> There is no province-based official team type organisation of domestic cricket in Pakistan and [[Lahore]] and [[Karachi]] cities are the two top tiers of all cricket, including reservoirs of fresh talent.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://apnews.com/ae43deb8b7604039a18957d1eee23a8b|title=PSL: A pathway to revive international cricket in Pakistan|last=Ali|first=Rizwan|date=2019-02-12|work=AP NEWS|access-date=2019-03-11}}</ref><ref name=":0" />

Pakistan cricket was involved by dissension and controversies over the national team's poor performance during the tour of India and a public uproar forced the end of the Ad Hoc Committee.<ref name=":0" /> The chairman and team captain Asif Iqbal had to step down.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EHxABAAAQBAJ&q=The+chairman+and+team+captain+Asif+Iqbal+had+to+step+down.&pg=PT112|title=Master Laster: What They Don't Tell You about Sachin Tendulkar|last=Chakraberty|first=Sumit|date=2014-04-14|publisher=Hay House, Inc|isbn=9789381398593|language=en}}</ref> Air Marshal Nur Khan now became chairman and he saw the banks and other organisations increase their participation on the Board Council in the face of protests from the zonal organisations.

A third ad hoc committee under Javed Burki took charge of BCCP affairs in January 1994 and made a new constitution including giving a new name, the Pakistan Cricket Board (P.C.B.) It introduced a chairman and chief executive.

After taking heavy criticism on the grounds of corruption and match fixing, the Board was taken over by a fourth Ad Hoc Committee formed on 17 July 1999 which remains in place despite undertakings from Musharraf to bring it to an end. The Pakistan Cricket Board re-emerged by taking the initiative to sponsor the hugely successful 2004 tour of Pakistan by their rivals [[India cricket team|India]]. The Pakistan Cricket Board has competed and has associated itself with the [[Twenty20 cricket]] form and has also proven popular and hopes to similarly revive popular interest in domestic games. However, Pakistan's early exit from the 2007 World Cup cast a shadow and later [[Dr. Nasim Ashraf]]'s resigned at the end of 2008.

[[Ejaz Butt]] was named the PCB Chairman in October 2008. Zaka Ashraf took over from Butt in October 2011.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.news18.com/cricketnext/news/banker-ashraf-replaces-butt-as-pcb-chief-577662.html|title=Banker Ashraf replaces Butt as PCB chief|date=2011-10-11|agency=News18|access-date=2019-03-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/536483.html|title=A litany of lows|date=2011-10-14|agency=Cricinfo|language=en|access-date=2019-03-11}}</ref>

On 28 May 2013, Zaka Ashraf was suspended as PCB Chairman by [[Islamabad High Court]] due to a dubious election. The newly sworn in Government of [[Nawaz Sharif]] named [[Najam Sethi]] as acting PCB Chairman.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/644507.html|title=Najam Sethi named PCB's interim chairman|date=2013-06-23|website=Cricinfo|language=en|access-date=2019-03-11}}</ref> On 15 October 2013, the governing council of the Pakistan Cricket Board was dissolved by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, [[Nawaz Sharif]], and an interim five man management committee was named consisting of acting chairman [[Najam Sethi]]‚ [[Shahryar Khan]], two former players ([[Zaheer Abbas]] and [[Haroon Rasheed]], and former team manager Naveed Cheema.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/story/679671.html|title=PCB's governing board dissolved|publisher=[[ESPN]]|work=cricinfo|date=15 October 2013|first=Umar |last=Farooq|access-date=31 December 2013}}</ref>

On 15 January 2014, Zaka Ashraf was reinstated as PCB Chairman. The PML-N Government was unhappy with the reinstatement (since Ashraf was a [[Pakistan People's Party|PPP]] appointee), and this led to Ashraf's sacking. In February, PCB Governing Board was dissolved and an eight-member management committee (comprising Shakil Sheikh, Shaharyar Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Iqbal Qasim, Naveed Akram Cheema, Yusaf Naseem Khokar and Faridullah Khan, the secretary IPC). Najam Sethi was elected as chairman by the management committee.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-02-10 |title=Najam Sethi named as new PCB chairperson |url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/669863/pm-nawaz-removes-zaka-ashraf-from-pcb-head-post |access-date=2022-06-11 |website=The Express Tribune |language=en}}</ref>

==Domestic cricket==
{{main|Cricket in Pakistan}}
The structure of domestic cricket in Pakistan at the highest level has changed many times since 1947 with the latest restructure being enforced in 2019.<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27504448/pcb-unveils-new-domestic-set-stay-top-mantra |title=PCB unveils new domestic set-up with 'stay at the top' mantra |work=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=15 September 2019 |archive-date=31 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190831140727/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27504448/pcb-unveils-new-domestic-set-stay-top-mantra |url-status=live }}</ref> Previously [[Quaid-e-Azam Trophy|domestic cricket]] operated with departmental, city and regional teams - a set up encouraged by [[Abdul Hafeez Kardar]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/464050-dept-cricket-s-abolition-ex-cricketers-split-over-imran-s-decision|title=Dept cricket's abolition: Ex-cricketers split over Imran's decision|website=www.thenews.com.pk|access-date=2021-02-20|archive-date=2019-04-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428165432/https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/464050-dept-cricket-s-abolition-ex-cricketers-split-over-imran-s-decision|url-status=live}}</ref> Since 1947, the [[Quaid-e-Azam Trophy|domestic first class cricket]] system has varied considerably per year with teams ranging from 7 to 26 and tournament matches operating under different formats (often changes occurred every year). With the advent of domestic [[List A cricket|List A]] and [[Twenty20|T20]] forms of cricket in the 1970s and 2000s, there has been no consistent set up (as has been noted for [[first-class cricket|first class]] cricket in Pakistan). Historically, school and club cricket has also suffered due to inconsistencies in top tier domestic cricket. The consistent changes in the domestic structure and the gradual introduction of departmental teams was encouraged as it provided permanent jobs to players. Matches were rarely televised due to lack of quality cricket and lack of interest in departmental cricket. This inconsistent system was widely criticised on the basis of low quality cricket and reduced competition.

In 2019, six regional teams were created on provincial lines. The teams would compete in the principal competitions in all three formats of the game: the [[Quaid-e-Azam Trophy]] ([[first-class cricket|First Class]]), [[Pakistan Cup]] ([[List A cricket|List A]]) and [[National T20 Cup]] (Domestic [[Twenty20|T20]]). The PCB's rationale in reducing the number of teams in domestic cricket was to concentrate talent in order to increase competition and improve the quality of cricket. The new structure also consisted of corresponding second XI, under-19, under-16 and under-13 competitions, and live television coverage of top level matches.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cricketworld.com/pcb-confirms-schedule-of-266-match-2021-22-domestic-season/72223.htm |title=PCB confirms schedule of 266-match 2021-22 domestic season |access-date=2021-08-10 |archive-date=2021-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210810190913/https://www.cricketworld.com/pcb-confirms-schedule-of-266-match-2021-22-domestic-season/72223.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The restructuring also reorganised district level cricket into a three tier bottom-up system, with 90 city cricket associations supervising school and club cricket at grassroots level, and inter-city tournaments providing a stepping-stone to the six elite regional teams.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=http://tribune.com.pk/article/94127/pcbs-new-domestic-structure-improvement-at-the-price-of-unemployment|title=PCB's new domestic structure: Improvement at the price of unemployment?|date=February 25, 2020|website=The Express Tribune|access-date=March 4, 2021|archive-date=December 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201230094732/https://tribune.com.pk/article/94127/pcbs-new-domestic-structure-improvement-at-the-price-of-unemployment|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite web |url=https://www.pcb.com.pk/press-release-detail/city-cricket-association-tournament-schedule-announced.html |title=City Cricket Association tournament schedule announced |access-date=2021-08-10 |archive-date=2021-08-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210810190912/https://www.pcb.com.pk/press-release-detail/city-cricket-association-tournament-schedule-announced.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The six regional teams (operated by respective six cricket associations) ensure that the affairs of the associations at city level are regulated. They frame policies that will develop cricket at the grassroots, manage club cricket in collaboration with the 90 city associations and also oversee intra-city competitions. The teams are responsible for revenue generation through sponsorship, marketing and strategic collaborations with business conglomerates. Each of the six regional teams have a chief executive officer and a management committee that has been tasked with supervising all cricketing activities. These changes have been made by the PCB in order to decentralise the administrative body so that it can limit itself to a supervisory role by delegating responsibilities related to the development of the sport to the provincial associations.<ref name="auto1"/> This tiered structure has been enshrined in the PCB constitution.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/pcb-s-new-constitution-confirms-overhaul-of-domestic-structure-1197126|title=PCB's new constitution confirms overhaul of domestic structure|website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2021-02-20|archive-date=2021-02-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226205845/https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/pcb-s-new-constitution-confirms-overhaul-of-domestic-structure-1197126|url-status=live}}</ref>

Former cricketer [[VVS Laxman]] is the director of the NCA.

== Activities ==
The NCA has collaborated with the [[MRF Pace Foundation]] to train [[fast bowlers]] from across the country.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2014-09-02 |title=BCCI signs five-year agreement with MRF Pace Foundation |url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/national/BCCI-signs-five-year-agreement-with-MRF-Pace-Foundation/article20856508.ece |access-date=2023-09-16 |website=BusinessLine |language=en}}</ref>

The facility also works as a [[Physical medicine and rehabilitation|rehabilitation]] centre for injured members of India's cricket team. [[Ravi Shastri]], in comments about frequently injured cricketers, [[sarcastically]] called some players "permanent residents of NCA", which he said was "not a good thing at all".<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-04-12 |title='Some have become permanent residents of NCA': Ravi Shastri blasts players' injury management |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/some-have-become-permanent-residents-of-nca-ravi-shastri-blasts-players-injury-management/articleshow/99439161.cms |access-date=2023-08-01 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> {{Asof|2023|July}}, [[Jasprit Bumrah]], [[Prasidh Krishna]], and [[Rishabh Pant]] were admitted to the centre.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-31 |title='No pace.

The NCA was the brainchild of cricket administrator and former BCCI President [[Raj Singh Dungarpur]].<ref name="rsd">{{cite news |date=13 September 2009 |title=His last words: Donald George Bradman |work=Daily News and Analysis |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report_his-last-words-donald-george-bradman_1289714 |access-date=11 March 2011}}</ref>

In 2000, NCA member and adviser [[Sunil Gavaskar]] argued that the NCA team should not have played the visiting Zimbabwe team, saying "I thought it was unfair on the performers who were not given a chance to play first class matches against touring sides".<ref name=":1">{{cite web |date=23 December 2000 |title=Raj singh is nothing without his chair: Gavaskar |url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/86917.html |access-date=9 May 2007 |publisher=[[ESPNcricinfo]]}}</ref> In response, NCA chair [[Raj Singh Dungarpur]] said, "Such people should either resign from the committee, or take it on, or fall in line."<ref name=":1" /> Gavaskar resigned as NCA committee member.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-03-29 |title=Gavaskar at best, a reluctant administrator |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/gavaskar-at-best-a-reluctant-administrator/story-2iZ8nf2Wuy5mTrKhcbpHQP.html |access-date=2023-09-17 |website=Hindustan Times |language=en}}</ref>

In 2014, BCCI collaborated with [[Cricket Australia]] and the [[England and Wales Cricket Board|ECB]] to get expert opinions on the creation of its new structure.

On 16{{Nbsp}}February 2022, BCCI president [[Sourav Ganguly]] and secretary [[Jay Shah]] announced the construction of a new NCA facility at near the [[Bangalore Airport|Bangalore airport]]. Plans included three [[Cricket ground|cricket grounds]], a gymnasium, 40 practice pitches, a swimming pool, and rooms for upcoming players.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BCCI Plans NCA Contracts for Fresh Bowling Talent Both Men and Women |url=https://www.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/news/bcci-plans-nca-contracts-for-fresh-bowling-talent-both-men-and-women/amp_articleshow/89605892.cms |website=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>

He was a bowling all rounder and a member of the Indian cricket team that won the inaugural [[2007 ICC World Twenty20|2007 ICC Twenty20 World Cup]] and [[2013 ICC Champions Trophy]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/india/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2;id=6;type=team |title=Cricket Records | India | Records | One-Day Internationals | Most wickets | ESPN Cricinfo |publisher=Stats.espncricinfo.com |access-date=29 July 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130302195409/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/india/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2;id=6;type=team |archive-date=2 March 2013 }}</ref>

Beginning his career as a fast-medium swing and seam bowler, Pathan broke into the national team soon after turning 19, and evoked comparisons with Pakistan's [[Wasim Akram]] with his promising performances and prodigious swing of, however, later turned out to be a disappointment. In early 2006, Pathan became the only bowler to take a Test [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] in the first [[over (cricket)|over]] of the match<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/cricket/interview/how-i-took-that-special-hat-trick-against-pakistan/20200623.htm|title=Irfan Pathan: 'How I took that special hat-trick against Pakistan'|first=Harish |last=Kotian |date=23 June 2020 |website=Rediff.com}}
</ref> (vs Pakistan at Karachi). However, the productive run did not last and after the start of 2006, Pathan began to steadily lose pace and swing, and his wicket-taking dwindled. Although Pathan's batting continued to be productive, he was not regarded as a specialist and was dropped from the team in both Tests and ODIs by the end of 2006, and by 2007 was no longer in the squad until his return in [[2007 World Twenty20]].

Irfan Pathan, along with players such as [[Vinod Kambli]] and [[Laxman Sivaramakrishnan]], was included in the list of "India's lost boys" by [[Shashi Tharoor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/495687.html|title=Shashi Tharoor|work=Cricinfo|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121114184123/http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/495687.html|archive-date=14 November 2012}}</ref>

He cemented his position in the team and was named by the [[International Cricket Council]] as the 2004 [[ICC Men's Emerging Cricketer of the Year|ICC Men's Emerging Player of the Year]]. Pathan was instrumental in India's One-day international and Test series wins in Pakistan in 2004. He was described by the media as the "[[wikt:Blue-eyed boy|blue-eyed boy]]" of Indian cricket.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ill-keep-knocking-on--the-indian-teams-door-says-irfan-pathan/15149085|title=I'll keep knocking on the Indian team's door, says Irfan Pathan|date=14 March 2014|work=mid-day|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140501051807/http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ill-keep-knocking-on--the-indian-teams-door-says-irfan-pathan/15149085|archive-date=1 May 2014}}</ref> In late-2004 he took 18 wickets in two Tests against [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]], but the start of 2005 he performed poorly and conceded runs at a high rate, leading to a brief exile from the [[one-day international]] (ODI) team.

Immediately thereafter, Australian [[Greg Chappell]], one of the leading batsmen of his time, became India's coach (2005) and identified Pathan's batting potential. Pathan improved his batting skills and tried to become a complete bowling all-rounder, and he opened the batting on occasions in ODIs and scored 93 in a Test match (10 Dec 2005, versus Sri Lanka in Delhi) in the role after an illness to [[Virender Sehwag]]. He made three scores beyond 80 in the space of four Test innings against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. For the first nine months of Chappell's stint at the helm, Pathan performed strongly with both bat and ball, scoring runs regularly and frequently taking top-order wickets. He rose to No. 2 in the ICC's ODI rankings for all-rounders and was also in the top five in the Test rankings. This led critics to compare him to former Indian pace bowling allrounder [[Kapil Dev]].<ref name="long">{{cite news|first= Rahul|last=Bhattacharya|title = Irfan Pathan's excellent adventure| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/141301.html|date = 31 May 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

He returned to international cricket in September 2007 for the inaugural [[World Twenty20]], where he took three wickets and was man of the match as India beat Pakistan in the final. Pathan became the first Indian bowler on [[ICC Men's T20 World Cup|T20 World Cup]] debut who picked up a wicket on the very first ball. This earned him a recall into the ODI team, where he was a regular for most of the next 12 months before being dropped as his economy rate continued to trend upwards and subsequently struggled with a loss of form and injuries. In late-2007 Pathan was also recalled into the Test team after 19 months and hit his maiden Test century, but could not maintain his place in the team as his bowling was not effective enough with only two pacemen needed. Pathan played his last Test for India in April 2008 against South Africa.<ref name="espncricinfo1">{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-india-2012/content/player/32685.html |title=Irfan Pathan | India Cricket | Cricket Players and Officials |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo |access-date=29 July 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120805011530/http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-india-2012/content/player/32685.html |archive-date=5 August 2012 }}</ref> He continued to perform with both bat and ball at the domestic level, although his sedate pace was frequently criticized as being irrelevant at the international level.

He was a contestant in the dance reality show ''[[Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa]]'' in 2015. Irfan Pathan made his acting debut in a Kollywood movie ''Cobra(2022 film)''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/irfan-pathan-harbhajan-singh-to-make-kollywood-entries-with-vikram-58-and-dikkiloona-respectively/article29682012.ece|title=Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh to make Kollywood entries with 'Vikram 58' and 'Dikkiloona' respectively|date=14 October 2019|work=The Hindu|access-date=16 October 2019|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

==Background and personal life==
[[File:NyayM.jpg|thumb|Irfan He was born in the western Indian city of [[Vadodara]] (former Baroda)]]
Pathan was born 27 October 1984 in [[Baroda]], Gujarat, India and is of [[Pashtun people|Pashtun]] (Pathan) ancestry, belonging to the [[Pathans of Gujarat|Pathan community in Gujarat]].<ref name="Alikuzai2013">{{cite book|last=Alikuzai|first=Hamid Wahed|title=A Concise History of Afghanistan in 25 Volumes|date=October 2013|publisher=Trafford Publishing|isbn=9781490714417|page=607|quote=Cricket is largely a legacy of British rule in Pakistan and India, and many Pashtuns have become prominent participants, such as Shahid Afridi, Imran Khan and Irfan Pathan.}}</ref> He grew up with his elder [[brother]] [[Yusuf Pathan|Yusuf]] in a mosque in [[Vadodara]], in an impoverished family. His father served as the [[muezzin]]. Although their parents wished them to become Islamic scholars, Pathan and his brother took an interest in cricket. Their games on the grounds off and inside the mosque often necessitated apologies from their father to Muslim worshippers who visited it. In the beginning his deliveries did not reach the other end of the [[cricket pitch]], but rigorous six-hour training sessions in blazing heat and his family's sense of discipline saw him progress steadily.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}

==Early career==
Under the guidance of former Indian captain [[Datta Gaekwad]], Pathan rose to get selected in the Under-14 [[Baroda cricket team]], and when he was selected at Under-15 level to represent Baroda in a national tournament, he was finally presented with a full set of cricket equipment, having before been restricted to second-hand gear due to his family's limited economic means.<ref name="long"/><ref name="bbc youth">{{cite news|title = India back Pathan's potential|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/3244394.stm|first = Arjun|last = Sandhu|date = 28 November 2003|access-date = 20 December 2006|publisher = [[British Broadcasting Corporation]]|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040504030649/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/3244394.stm|archive-date = 4 May 2004|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

In December 1997, Pathan broke into the Baroda Under-16 team,<ref name=o>{{cite web | url=https://cricketarchive.com/cgi-bin/player_oracle_reveals_results2.cgi?playernumber=11245&opponentmatch=exact&playername=Halcombe&resulttype=All&matchtype=All&teammatch=exact&startwicket=&homeawaytype=All&opponent=&endwicket=&wicketkeeper=&searchtype=InningsList&endscore=&playermatch=contains&branding=cricketarchive&captain=&endseason=&startscore=&team=&startseason= | title=Player Oracle IK Pathan | access-date=9 December 2008 | publisher=CricketArchive | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100302195135/http://www.cricketarchive.com/cgi-bin/player_oracle_reveals_results2.cgi?playernumber=11245&opponentmatch=exact&playername=Halcombe&resulttype=All&matchtype=All&teammatch=exact&startwicket=&homeawaytype=All&opponent=&endwicket=&wicketkeeper=&searchtype=InningsList&endscore=&playermatch=contains&branding=cricketarchive&captain=&endseason=&startscore=&team=&startseason= | archive-date=2 March 2010 | df=dmy-all }}</ref> less than two months after turning 13. He took a total of 1/35 and scored 1 and 11 against [[Gujarat cricket team|Gujarat]] and was dropped immediately afterwards. He did not play again for the Under-16s for two years, and in November 1999, less than a month after turning 15, he made his next appearance, this time for Baroda Under-19s against [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]]. He scored 61 and 9 and took a total of 3/41 in a victory, but was immediately dropped back to the Under-16s for the next match, and spent the rest of the 1999–2000 season there. He bowled short spells in the younger division, taking four wickets at 38.00 in six matches, averaging less than seven overs an innings. He had more success with the bat, scoring 253 runs at 31.62 including a best of 72 against [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}

Pathan was then selected for the India Under-15 team in mid-2000 to play a series of matches against their colleagues from other countries. He took 15 wickets at 12.66 in ten matches, including a best of 3/2 against [[Thailand national cricket team|Thailand]], and scored 15 runs at 7.50.<ref name=o/> India won all but one of the matches, most by enormous margins.<ref name=o/>

==Youth career==
At the start of the 2000–01 season, Pathan was immediately back in the Under-19s, this time bowling more, often delivering more than 20 overs per innings. In four matches, he scored 102 runs at 102.00 including a best of 63 not out, and took 10 wickets at 32.50. He was then promoted to the Under-22s, where he scored 44 and took 4/71 in his first match against [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]], prompting the Baroda selectors to propel him into the senior team.<ref name=o/>

In 2003–04, he was then selected for India Emerging Players for a series of limited-overs matches against counterparts from Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pathan took seven wickets at 11.00 in three matches, including 4/22 and 3/35 in two matches against Pakistan.<ref name=o/>

In late 2003, he was selected for the India Under-19 team to compete in an Asian youth ODI competition in Pakistan, where he was the leading bowler with 18 wickets at 7.38, with an economy rate of 3.54. This was more than twice that of the second leading wicket-taker. He was named as the player of the tournament, which India won after defeating Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the final.<ref>{{cite web|title = Asian Under-19s Tournament Bowling – Most Wickets|url = http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2003-04/OTHERS/ASIAN/STATS/ASIAN_2003_AVS_BOWL_MOST_WKTS.html|year = 2003|access-date = 20 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20050418131104/http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2003-04/OTHERS/ASIAN/STATS/ASIAN_2003_AVS_BOWL_MOST_WKTS.html|archive-date = 18 April 2005|df = dmy-all}}</ref> Pathan was featured on the headlines when he claimed 9/16 against Bangladesh, helping to bowl them out for 34, and helped India to emerge victorious over Sri Lanka in the final, taking 3/33.<ref>{{cite web|first = Anand|last= Vasu| title= Victorious Indian Under-19 team return home to plaudits| url = http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/132447.html|date = 7 November 2003 |access-date = 20 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> Pathan also scored 94 runs at 31.33 with the bat, compiling scores of 32, 28 and 34.<ref name=o/> Pathan returned to India and took 3/51 and 1/33 and scored 26 and 12 in his first Ranji Trophy match for the season, against [[Andhra Pradesh cricket team|Andhra Pradesh]].<ref name=o/> This resulted in him being selected for the Indian national squad for the [[Indian cricket team in Australia in 2003–04|2003–04 Border-Gavaskar Trophy]] Test series in Australia.<ref name = "bbc youth"/>

==Domestic career==
He started against [[Bengal cricket team|Bengal]] in March 2001, after fellow left-arm paceman [[Zaheer Khan]] was selected for the national team. He scored 13 not out and 2, and took 3/40 and 2/68 in a 222-run win. However, he was unable to repeat this form in the three remaining matches, taking only two more wickets in total, but Baroda nevertheless managed to win the [[Ranji Trophy]]. He ended his maiden season with seven wickets at 43.28 and 75 runs at 12.50 with a best score of 40 not out against [[Orissa cricket team|Orissa]].<ref name=o/>

The Ranji win saw Baroda qualify for the following season's [[Irani Trophy]] where they took on the Rest of India. Pathan scored 32 in the second innings and took 3/95 and 1/34 in a defeat,<ref name=o/> but his performance reminded Test batsman [[V. V. S. Laxman]] of Zaheer.<ref name=long/> However, he was omitted from the senior team and sent back to the Under-19s the next week and stayed there for the next two months, playing eight double-innings matches for Baroda. He took 20 wickets at 20.40, including a best of 6/41 against Gujarat, and scoring 190 runs at 31.66 with a best of 63 not out.<ref name=o/> Pathan was then recalled to the senior team and made his List A debut against Mumbai, taking 1/69 from nine overs. Pathan further honed his bowling at the [[MRF Pace Foundation]] in [[Chennai]], after being referred by Indian selector [[Kiran More]].<ref name="long"/>

In early 2002, he was selected for the [[2002 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup|Under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand]], where he took six wickets at 27.50 and scored 30 runs at 15.00, taking 2/18 in a win over South Africa.<ref>{{cite web|title = ICC Under-19 World Cup, 2001/02 Averages|url = http://aus.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2001-02/OTHERS+ICC/U19-WC2002/STATS/U19-WC2002_JAN-FEB2002_AVS_IND-U19.html|year = 2002|access-date = 20 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040930201511/http://aus.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/2001-02/OTHERS+ICC/U19-WC2002/STATS/U19-WC2002_JAN-FEB2002_AVS_IND-U19.html|archive-date = 30 September 2004|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

Upon returning to India, Pathan was selected in a senior zonal team for the first time. He was selected for [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]] for the [[Duleep Trophy]], even though he had not played a single match for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy season. He immediately repaid the selectors' faith by taking 4/74 and 6/72, his first ten-wicket match haul, in the first fixture against [[Central Zone cricket team|Central Zone]], setting up a 161-run win. In the next match, he took 4/72 and 3/85 as West defeated [[North Zone cricket team|North]] by 178 runs.<ref name=o/> He only took 1/55 in the next match against [[South Zone cricket team|South]] but West were through to the final, where he took 4/43 to help cut down [[East Zone cricket team|East Zone]] for 162 in the first innings, sealing the title.<ref name=o/> In all Pathan, had taken 22 wickets at 18.22 for the tournament, and scored 46 runs at 11.50.<ref name=o/>

These performances propelled Pathan into the India A team at the age of 17 and a half, for a tour of Sri Lanka, where he took six wickets at 35.00 in three first-class matches. Pathan then went on an India Under-19 tour of England in mid-2002. He took 15 wickets at 25.93 in the three youth Tests, which India lost 1–0, with a best of 4/83 in the Second Test.<ref name=o/> He then took four wickets at 42.00, conceding more than six runs an over, and scored 66 runs at 33.00 in the three youth ODIs, which India won 2–1.<ref name=o/>

Pathan was rewarded with selection in the Rest of India team that played against [[Railways cricket team|Railways]] in the Irani Trophy at the start of the 2002–03 season. He took a total of 2/84 and scored 29 as the Ranji champions prevailed.<ref name=o/> He struggled in the Ranji Trophy, taking 18 wickets at 39.33 in seven matches. Half of his wickets came in one match against [[Orissa cricket team|Orissa]] in which he claimed 6/31 and 3/46 in an innings victory.<ref name=o/> He scored 161 runs at 23.00, with a 54 against [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Tamil Nadu]] being his maiden first-class fifty, as well as two other forties.<ref name=o/> Despite a lack of wickets for Baroda, Pathan was selected for the Duleep Trophy, playing for Elite Group A. He took 5/88 and 4/106 against Plate Group A and 4/101 against Elite Group C, before taking 3/53 and 2/42 as Elite Group A defeated Elite Group B in the final by seven wickets. Pathan ended the tournament with 19 wickets at 27.00 and scored 72 runs at 24.00.<ref name=o/> In the one-dayers, Pathan also struggled for Baroda, taking three wickets at 64.66 in four matches at an economy rate of 4.85, but he was nevertheless selected for the zonal team, where he took four wickets at 34.25 in four matches at an economy rate of 3.91.<ref name=o/>

In 2003 he was selected for the India A team which travelled to England. Playing in five first-class matches, Pathan took nine wickets at 43.77, including 4/60 against [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] and 3/83 against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]].<ref name=o/> He managed only 8 runs at 4.00 with the bat. He had more success in the limited-overs matches, taking eight wickets at 11.12 in three matches, including a 4/19 against [[Lancashire County Cricket Club|Lancashire]], and scoring 27 runs at 27.00.<ref name=o/>

At the start of the 2003–04 season, Pathan played in the domestic [[Challenger Trophy]] for the first time. Representing India A, he had little success, taking two wickets at 79.00 at an economy rate of 5.85,<ref name=o/> and he did not force his way into India's limited-overs team.<ref name = "bbc youth"/><ref name=o/><ref>{{cite web|first = Anand|last= Vasu| title= Crunch time for India probables| url = http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/133546.html|date = 11 September 2003 |access-date = 20 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> In 2019, he joined the [[Jammu and Kashmir cricket team]] as coach-cum-mentor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/irfan-pathan-joins-jammu-and-kashmir-as-coach-cum-mentor|title=Irfan Pathan joins Jammu and Kashmir as coach-cum-mentor|date=30 April 2019|website=Sportskeeda.com}}</ref>

At the age of 19, he opened the bowling following an injury to the Baroda left-armer [[Zaheer Khan]] in the First Test.

Pathan subsequently led the pace attack again on the 2004 Test tour to Pakistan, taking 12 wickets and bowling a higher proportion of [[maiden over]]s than any other bowler to help secure India's first series victory over Pakistan in two decades.<ref name="long"/> In the first innings, he bowled 28 overs and took 4/100 to help India restrict their arch-rivals to 407 and take a 268-run lead.

===Golden form===
He also continued his prolific wicket-taking in the ODIs, taking eight wickets at 17.87 at an economy rate of 4.76 in three matches, including three top-order wickets in the deciding fifth ODI in Lahore.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/><ref name = "statsguruodiseries">{{cite web|title = Statsguru – IK Pathan – ODIs – Series averages|url = http://statserver.cricket.org/guru?sdb=player;playerid=11399;class=odiplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=2003-12-12;start=2003-12-12;enddefault=2006-06-14;end=2006-06-14;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=0;recent=;viewtype=aro_series;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype|date = 20 December 2006|access-date = 21 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]}}{{Dead link|date=November 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> He also scored 36 runs at 36.00 in the ODIs.<ref name=o/> His ability to swing the ball both ways and his innings in Lahore led to speculation that he could become an all rounder.<ref>{{cite news|first= Amit|last=Varma|title = Walking the talk| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/134494.html|date = 17 April 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> In recognition of his performances at the start of his international career, Pathan was named the [[ICC Men's Emerging Cricketer of the Year|ICC Emerging Player of the Year]] in 2004.<ref>{{cite news|title = Rahul Dravid is the ICC's player of the year| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/143090.html|date = 7 September 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

Pathan continued his productive form in ODIs at the 2004 Asian Cup in [[Sri Lanka]], where he was the leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets at 16.28 at an economy rate of 4.37 in six matches, with three three-wicket hauls against the [[United Arab Emirates cricket team|United Arab Emirates]], Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively. He also scored 64 runs at 32.00 including a 38 in a defeat against Pakistan.<ref name=o/>

===Struggle in form===
He then struggled during an ODI tour in Europe, taking three wickets at 78.00 at an economy rate of 5.48 from five matches. India won only one of these games and lost four.<ref name=o/> Pathan returned to form during India's brief campaign at the [[2004 ICC Champions Trophy]] in England, where he claimed 5 wickets at an average of 9.00 and economy rate of 3.00.<ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/><ref>{{cite web|title= Asia Cup, 2004 Bowling – Most Wickets| url = http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2004/OD_TOURNEYS/ASIA/STATS/ASIA_JUL-AUG2004_ODI_BOWL_MOST_WKTS.html|year = 2004 |access-date = 21 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> He took 2/11 against [[Kenya national cricket team|Kenya]] and 3/34 against Pakistan, but defeat at the hands of the latter ended India's campaign.<ref name=o/>

Returning to India, Pathan then represented his country at the highest level for the first time on home soil. Pathan continued to improve his batting with a defiant 31 and 55 against Australia in October 2004 in the First Test in [[Bangalore]]. This was his first half-century in Tests, and was scored after the specialist batsmen had failed. Nevertheless, he managed a total of only 2/100 and India fell to a 217-run loss. Pathan's career was put on hold after he suffered a side strain in the following Test in [[Chennai]], in which he totalled 0/68, causing him to miss the Tests in [[Nagpur]] and [[Mumbai]].<ref>{{cite news|first= Siddhartha |last=Vaidyanathan |title = Australia win by 217 runs despite Indian resistance| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/142320.html|date = 10 October 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title = Pathan ruled out of Nagpur Test| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/142563.html|date = 18 October 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> Australia went on to take the series 2–1 and Pathan ended with two wickets at 84.00 and 100 runs at 33.33.<ref name=o/> After being overlooked for the First Test with selectors opting for three spinners,<ref>{{cite news| first=Dileep|last= Premachandran| title = Short-sighted tradition| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/141834.html|date = 20 November 2004|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> he returned in the Second Test against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in [[Kolkata]], aggregating 3/89 and scoring 24 in an eight-wicket win that sealed a 1–0 series win.<ref name=o/>

In late 2004, the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] introduced central contracts for international players for the first time, and Pathan was given a B-grade contract. 2005 began rather poorly for Pathan. He took only six wickets at 68.33 in the home Test series against Pakistan after losing pace and accuracy.<ref>{{cite news| first=Dileep|last= Premachandran| title = A few good men| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/146534.html|date = 29 March 2005|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> In the last two matches, he managed totals of 2/122 and 1/160, conceding more than four runs an over as the Pakistani batsmen scored heavily. He scored 64 runs at 16.00 and made a duck in the second innings of the Third Test as the hosts collapsed on the last day to squander the series 1–1.<ref name=o/>

===Ups and downs===
He was subsequently dropped for the ODI series, playing in only one match in which he conceded 67 runs without picking up a wicket in 8 overs. However, he did manage to post his first ODI half-century, scoring 64, defiantly holding up his end as India were bowled out for 213, sealing a 106-run loss.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/> [[Greg Chappell]] became the coach of the Indian team following the Pakistan series and identified Pathan as a potential all-rounder. He started to hone Pathan's batting skills, which had up to this point yielded 275 Test runs at 19.64.<ref name = "statsgurutestseries"/>
Pathan was subsequently signed by [[Middlesex County Cricket Club]] for the English country season, where he attempted to regain his form after his bad start to the year.<ref>{{cite news| title = Pathan signs for Middlesex| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/209320.html|date = 14 May 2005|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> Pathan arrived in late-May and stayed for six weeks. He achieved better results than in the Pakistan series, taking six wickets at 24.66 and an economy rate of 5.41 in four one-dayers, including 3/42 against Essex. In the new [[Twenty20]] format, Pathan took 12 wickets at 12.75 and an economy rate of 6.37 in seven matches, including a best of 4/27 against Essex. He scored 21 not out in the same match to help seal a 31-run win.<ref name=o/> However, his difficulties in first-class matches continued. He took 4/81 and 1/68, and scored 41 and 13 not out in a productive debut against [[Sussex County Cricket Club|Sussex]], and Middlesex were only one wicket away from victory when time ran out. However, he failed to take another wicket and ended with five wickets at 64.80 and 126 runs at 63.00, scoring 68 against Surrey.<ref name=o/>

Pathan was recalled to the ODI team for the [[2005 Indian Oil Cup]] in Sri Lanka in August. This was Chappell's first series as a coach, in which Pathan played in all five matches and took 6 wickets at 33.83 at an economy rate of 4.41, but conceded 0/59 from nine overs as the hosts won the final. He scored 58 runs at 29.00 including an unbeaten 36 after India's batting collapsed in a loss to the hosts in a preliminary match.<ref name=o/>

===Making history===
He showed further signs of returning to peak form in the Videocon Triangular Series in [[Zimbabwe]], taking 10 wickets at 16.10 at an economy rate of 5.03 and scored 60 runs at 30.00 in four matches. This included a haul of 3/34 and then a score of 50 as India collapsed to 164 all out and a 51-run loss to New Zealand. In another match, he took his ODI career best of 5/27 against Zimbabwe in [[Harare]] as the hosts fell for 65.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/><ref name = "statsguruodiaward"/><ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> Despite his overall good form, Pathan was punished by the New Zealanders in the final, conceding 40 runs in five wicketless overs as India lost their second successive final.<ref name=o/> He was subsequently the leading wicket-taker as India took a 2–0 clean sweep of an away Test series against [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]]. In the First Test in [[Bulawayo]], Pathan took 5/58 and 4/53 as well as scoring 52 in a man of the match performance to help India to an innings victory. He followed this with a 7/59 haul, his Test career best innings haul, and 5/67 in the final Test in [[Harare]], his second ten-wicket match haul to set up a ten wicket victory, having also scored 32 in the first innings. He was again named man of the match, and his 21 wickets at 11.29 runs saw him named man of the series. This made him only the third bowler after [[Anil Kumble]] and [[Johnny Briggs (cricketer)|Johnny Briggs]] to take 21 wickets in a two-match series.<ref name = "statsgurutest"/><ref name = "statsgurutestseries"/><ref name = "statsgurutestaward"/><ref>{{cite news| title = Pathan: 'It has been a wonderful series for me'| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/219932.html|date = 22 September 2005|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

Upon the team's return to India, Chappell experimented with Pathan by using him as an opening batsman in the Challenger Trophy prior to the late 2005 series against [[Sri Lanka|Sri Lankan cricket team]]. This yielded only moderate success with scores of 28 and 11 not out. Pathan took six wickets at 29.16 at an economy rate of 5.17.<ref name=o/> Pathan was subsequently used at No. 3 in the batting line-up in the First ODI against Sri Lanka in [[Nagpur]], where he scored 83 runs from 70 balls to help India post a total of 6/350.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/> Pathan also took 4/37 and 3/38 in the second and seventh matches at [[Mohali]] and [[Baroda]] respectively to win two-man of the match awards, taking ten wickets at 25.60 at ane economy rate of 5.22 for the whole series.<ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> He added a 35 in the final match and ended the series with 118 runs at 39.33, playing akey role in India's 6–1 triumph.<ref name=o/> Pathan continued his strong ODI form with another man of the match performance of 3/23 and a knock of 37 runs against [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in the second ODI in [[Bangalore]],<ref name = "statsguruodiaward"/> having scored 46 in the middle-order in the first match after a top-order collapse. He ended the series with six wickets at 20.33 at an economy rate of 4.69 and 83 runs at 27.66.<ref name=o/>

After scoring two consecutive ducks in the Test series against Sri Lanka, Pathan was elevated to opening in the second innings of the Second Test in [[Delhi]], after regular opener [[Virender Sehwag]] was down with illness. Having taken 3/34 from 22 overs in the first innings, Pathan scored 93 runs, building on a first innings lead of 60 to help set up a winning target of 436. In the following match in [[Ahmedabad]], he scored 82 runs and combined in a century stand with [[V. V. S. Laxman]] to revive India after an early batting collapse saw five wickets fall during the first half of the opening day. He also took seven wickets at an average of 26.00 runs in the series, which India won 2–0.<ref name = "statsgurutest"/><ref name = "statsgurutestseries"/> Pathan later admitted that he had been disappointed in failing to score a Test century.<ref>{{cite news| first=Anand|last= Vasu| title = 'I am a little disappointed not to get to a hundred' – Pathan| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/229377.html|date = 12 December 2005|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> Following his strong performances in 2005, Pathan was promoted in December to an A-grade contract by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]].<ref>{{cite news|title = Pathan elevated to top bracket, Zaheer demoted|url = http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/230654.html|date = 24 December 2005|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher = [[Cricinfo]]|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070127090902/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/230654.html|archive-date = 27 January 2007|df = dmy-all}}</ref>

Pathan had another difficult start to the new year in 2006 on the Test tour to Pakistan. In the first two Test matches played on flat surfaces in [[Lahore]] and [[Faisalabad]], he had little success against the Pakistani batsmen, taking a total of two wickets while conceding 319 runs at more than four runs an over. After not getting an opportunity in the First Test—India lost only one wicket—Pathan made use of the good batting conditions himself and scored 90 in a double century partnership with wicket-keeper [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]] in [[Faisalabad]]. Pathan found success with the ball in the Third Test in [[Karachi]], when on 29 January he became the first – and to date only – person to claim a [[Test cricket hat-tricks|hat-trick]] in the first over of a Test match.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Salati|first1=Aamir|title=Irfan Pathan birthday special: Recalling his first over hat-trick against Pakistan|url=http://www.india.com/sports/irfan-pathan-birthday-special-recalling-his-first-over-hat-trick-against-pakistan-180789/|website=india.com|access-date=28 January 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202073433/http://www.india.com/sports/irfan-pathan-birthday-special-recalling-his-first-over-hat-trick-against-pakistan-180789/|archive-date=2 February 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Test hat-tricks|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/136977.html|website=Cricinfo|access-date=28 January 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202213441/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/136977.html|archive-date=2 February 2017}}</ref> It was also the highest in terms of total averages of the batsmen dismissed (130.18: [[Salman Butt]] 34.27, [[Younis Khan]] 46.04, [[Mohammad Yousuf (cricketer, born 1974)|Mohammad Yousuf]] 49.86) and came after 1783 Tests in the history of cricket.<ref name=statsgurutest/><ref>{{cite news| first=Trevor|last= Basevi| title = Hat-trick heroes| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/229377.html|date = 1 February 2006|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> He had Butt caught by Dravid in the slips from an outswinger, before trapping Younis [[leg before wicket]] and bowling Yousuf, both with inswingers.

This included a man of the match performance that included a haul of 3 wickets for 43 runs at [[Rawalpindi]] as he claimed nine wickets at 18.88 at an economy rate of 4.49 for the series.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/><ref name = "statsguruodiaward"/><ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> Having taken an unassailable 3–1 lead, India rested Pathan for the final match.

Pathan had a quiet series against [[England cricket team|England]] following his return to India, taking 8 wickets at an average of 39.37 runs and scoring 121 runs at an average of 24.20 runs in three Tests.<ref name="statsgurutestseries"/> Pathan scored 52 in the first innings of the Second Test in Mohali, helping India to a first-innings lead and eventually a nine-wicket win.<ref name=o/> In the Third Test, Pathan managed only 1/84 in total and scored 26 and 6 as they collapsed on the final day and ceded their series lead.<ref name=o/> Again his ODI form was unaffected, taking eleven wickets at 15.63 in five matches, and scoring 123 runs at 41.00 with the bat as India easily claimed the series 5–1.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/><ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> Pathan scored 28 and then took 3/21 in a low-scoring 29-win in the first match, before scoring 36 and taking 4/51 in the third match in Goa. India then took an unassailable 4–0 lead by winning the fourth match, in which Pathan took 1/27 before scoring 46 in the run-chase.<ref name=o/>

=== Drop in form again ===
Pathan began to suffer a loss of form during the tour of the West Indies in May 2006, when he managed only 24 runs at 6.00 and took 6 wickets at 29.83 at an economy rate of 5.59 while bowling in the ODI arena as India lost the series 4–1. After a poor display in a tour match, in which he was hit for 70 runs in 12 overs and appeared jaded, he was dropped from the Test team as [[V. R. V. Singh]] became the third place bowler and captain [[Rahul Dravid]] scrapped the five bowler strategy. Pathan only played once in the Second Test, after [[Sreesanth]] was sidelined due to injury. He scored 19 and took 1/43 and 1/50 as India enforced the follow on but the hosts hung on for a draw with three wickets in hand. India then selected two spinners in the last two Tests, and Pathan could not gain one of the two pace positions. Chappell stated that Pathan was fatigued and had been overworked but was confident that Pathan "would recover from his slump and rise to further heights", asserting that he was still young and learning.<ref>{{cite news| first=Anand|last= Vasu| title = 'Irfan is just 21 and still learning' – Chappell| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/255582.html|date = 14 August 2006|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref> Former India paceman [[Javagal Srinath]] expressed concern about Pathan's dwindling pace, but expressed that swing was the first priority in backing Pathan's return to international cricket.<ref>{{cite news| first= Kanishkaa| last= Balachandran| title = Srinath backs Pathan to come good| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/256234.html|date = 11 August 2006|access-date = 22 December 2006|publisher= [[Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

These concerns were further magnified in late 2006, when Pathan conceded 54 runs in six overs in the first two matches of a triangular ODI tournament in Malaysia. Despite scoring 64 in the top-order in the first of these matches against the West Indies,<ref name=o/> Pathan was dropped for the rest of the tournament. He appeared to have run into some form during the Challenger Trophy when he took five wickets at 15.80 at an economy rate of 4.64 and scored 95 runs at 31.66 in three matches.<ref name=o/>

Pathan was then demoted from the position of an opening bowler in ODIs during the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy]]; he took four wickets at 24.00 at an economy rate of 4.80, and scored only 29 runs at 9.66,<ref name=o/> as India were knocked out in the first round. Pathan was then limited to sporadic ODI appearances on the late-2006 tour to South Africa.<ref name = "statsguruodi"/><ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> Playing in three of the five matches, he took a solitary wicket at 136.00, conceding 7.15 runs per over, the only bright spot being an unbeaten 47 as India were skittled for 163 in one match; they were whitewashed by the hosts.<ref name=o/>

Since the West Indies tour in May 2006, Pathan had only been taking wickets at 41.33. He subsequently fell out of the Top 10 of the ICC bowling rankings and the Top 5 of the All rounder rankings after having spent the previous year on the list. Despite this, Indian captain [[Rahul Dravid]] remained optimistic about Pathan's prospects, stating "The number of Man-of-the-Matches that Irfan has won is a testimony to the fact that he's a proven matchwinner for us. He takes wickets early, contributes with the bat, is good in the field."<ref>{{cite news| first= Siddhartha| last= Vaidyanathan| title= Irfan is a proven matchwinner – Dravid| url= http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/263028.html| date= 15 October 2006| access-date= 22 December 2006| publisher= [[Cricinfo]]| url-status= live| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070328063028/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/263028.html| archive-date= 28 March 2007| df= dmy-all}}</ref> Despite top scoring in both innings of a first-class warm-up match in [[Potchefstroom]], scoring 111 not out and 40 not out whilst many specialist batsmen failed to cope with the bouncy conditions, he totalled only 1/49 from eight overs with the ball<ref name=o/> and was overlooked by the selectors for the First Test in [[Johannesburg]].

Pathan on his return took two wickets of the overs which he bowled. He had an impressive start as he took the wicket of [[Lendl Simmons]] as a [[Leg before wicket|Leg Before Wicket]].

===Strong comeback===
With India's older players opting out of the inaugural [[World Twenty20]], Pathan was one of several younger players to regain national selection. India were not expected to do well in a format that favoured stronger fielding sides.<ref>{{cite web| title=Generation X| first=Dileep |last=Premachandran | url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/309199.html| publisher=[[Cricinfo]]kutre=2008-05-28|date=7 September 2007}}</ref> In the first match, he scored 20 and took 2/20 in four overs as India tied with Pakistan in the first round, before winning in a bowl-out. He then took 0/16 as India lost to New Zealand before taking 3/37 in a defeat of England. India needed a win over hosts South Africa to reach the semi-final and Pathan conceded only 16 runs from his four overs, helping to restrict the hosts to 9/116 in pursuit of 154. Pathan then took 2/44, removing [[Brad Hodge]] and [[Andrew Symonds]] as India managed to defend 188 for a 15-run win to reach the finals. India faced arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. Pathan was declared the Man of the match after bowling a tidy spell and taking 3/16, including the removal of [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] captain [[Shoaib Malik]] and then the big-hitting [[Shahid Afridi]] for a [[Duck (cricket)|duck]] in the space of three balls, before later bowling [[Yasir Arafat (cricketer, born 1982)|Yasir Arafat]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/287879.html |title=ICC World Twenty20 – final India v Pakistan |access-date=22 July 2008 |publisher=[[Cricinfo]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724124622/http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/287879.html |archive-date=24 July 2008 }}</ref>

As a result of his performances in South Africa, Pathan was recalled to the ODI team and played in the home series against Australia and Pakistan in late 2007. He played in all 12 matches, seven against Australia and five against Pakistan. Pathan scored 131 runs at 18.71 in the lower-order and took 12 wickets at 46.00 at an economy rate of 5.02, averaging substantially worse than his overall career statistics.<ref name = "statsguruodiseries"/> It was a steady performance; Pathan never took more than two wickets in any match and his economy rate was always between 4.60 and 6.66 and scored 26 and 29 in consecutive matches in Baroda and [[Rajkot]] against Australia before making 43 in the final match against Pakistan.<ref name=o/>

With India opting to field two spinners and two pacemen on turning tracks in the home Test series against Pakistan in late 2007, Pathan missed the first two Tests as Zaheer and [[R. P. Singh|Rudra Pratap Singh]] were the fast bowlers chosen. In the meantime, he took 11 wickets at 23.81 and scored 90 runs at 30.00 in two Ranji Trophy matches. Injury to both Zaheer and Singh in his colleagues resulted in his recall for the Third Test at Bangalore. Pathan scored his maiden Test century, reaching the mark with a [[six (cricket)|six]] from [[leg spin]]ner [[Danish Kaneria]] to move from 96 to 102 with only last man, paceman [[Ishant Sharma]] left to accompany him, before holing out in the same over.<ref>{{cite web| title=Ganguly and Pathan pile on the agony for Pakistan| first=Dileep |last=Premachandran | url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/324489.html| publisher=[[Cricinfo]]| access-date=21 July 2008|date=9 December 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title=Pathan proves a point| first=George |last=Binoy | url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/324586.html| publisher=[[Cricinfo]]| access-date=21 July 2008|date=9 December 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title=Pathan, VRV and Ishant drafted in| url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/323852.html| publisher=[[Cricinfo]]| access-date=21 July 2008| date=5 December 2007| url-status=live| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071207221536/http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/323852.html| archive-date=7 December 2007| df=dmy-all}}</ref> He made 21 not out in the second innings but was unpenetrative with the ball, taking a total of 1/110 as the tourists hung on for a draw.<ref name=o/>

After his batting displays in Perth, Pathan was promoted to open the batting in the Fourth Test in Adelaide, replacing the struggling [[Wasim Jaffer]] and thereby allowing Harbhajan to return in a five-bowler attack.

Pathan struggled in the two finals against Australia, taking three wickets at 39.00 at an economy rate of 7.46 but his teammates did enough to ensure a 2–0 win.<ref name=o/>
An extra bowler backfired as the batsmen struggled. Pathan top-scored with 21* in India's first innings of 76 on the first morning and was again unbeaten in the second innings with 43. However, he failed to take a wicket and conceded 85 runs in only 21.2 overs in an innings defeat, and was omitted from the next Test.<ref name="statsgurutest"/> After the South Africa series, Pathan participated in the [[2008 Indian Premier League]], having been purchased by the [[Kings XI Punjab]].

===Back on the fringes===

Following the IPL, Pathan resumed international duties in the Kitply Cup and the [[2008 Asia Cup]]. He had an unproductive time with the ball; although he scored a total of 86 runs at 28.66, he took seven wickets at 51.42 at an economy rate of 6.56.<ref name="statsguruodiseries"/> Pathan was overlooked for the Tests in Sri Lanka but was called into the team for the one-dayers, but played in only three of the five fixtures. He took three wickets at 34.66, conceding 5.20 runs an over, and struggled with the bat, scoring 19 runs at 6.33 as the Indian batting collapsed in each match.<ref name=o/> He was then included in an India A team for a series of matches against touring counterparts from New Zealand and Australia. He had average results, taking four wickets at 43.75 and an economy rate of 4.86, and scored 56 runs at 18.66 in four games.<ref name=o/> He did better the Challenger Trophy, taking six wickets at 14.00 at an economy rate of 3.42, and scored 71 runs at 35.50 as India Blue won all three matches.<ref name=o/>

At the start of the first-class season, Pathan scored 56 but took a total of only 1/91 for the Board President's XI against the touring Australians ahead of the Test series, and he was overlooked for Test selection as India used only two pacemen. He returned to play for Baroda in the [[Ranji Trophy]].<ref name=o/> He played in four matches and performed strongly, taking 26 wickets at 16.03 and scored 166 runs at 33.20. He started the season with 6/85 and 1/34 in a draw against [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team|Uttar Pradesh]], and then took 4/42 and 1/46 against Railways. He then put on an all-round display to guide his team to a victory over Maharashtra. Pathan took 5/64 and then scored 51 as Baroda made 305 in their first innings to take a 77-run lead. After taking 1/61 in the second innings, he scored an unbeaten 50 to guide Baroda to their target of 227 with four wickets in hand. In his final Ranji fixture for the season, he took 7/35 in the first innings to help dismiss Andhra Pradesh for 77, setting up an innings win.<ref name=o/> However, with India persisting with and tasting success with their Test bowling strategy, Pathan was also overlooked for the home Tests against England. Pathan's domestic season was interrupted by spasmodic limited overs duty. Following his recent uneconomical run in ODIs, he was not given a game in the seven-match series against England in November until India had taken an unassailable 4–0 series lead. He took 0/57 from ten overs in the fifth match, as India recorded another victory, but did not get another opportunity after the [[2008 Mumbai attacks|Mumbai terrorist attacks]] saw the two remaining fixtures cancelled. Pathan was then selected for the early-2009 five-match ODI tour of Sri Lanka, but was not entrusted with a match until India took an unbeatable 3–0 lead. He took four wickets at 28.25 in two matches, but was again expensive, conceding 7.06 runs an over.<ref name=o/> However, he ended the tour on a high note when he combined with half-brother Yusuf in an unbroken eighth-wicket stand that saw India to a three-wicket win in the T20 international after a late flurry; Irfan ended on 33 not out.<ref name=o/> Pathan returned to India and took 3/50 and scored 51 not out in his only domestic one-dayer for Baroda during the season, which ended in a win, before leaving for the limited overs leg of a tour to New Zealand.<ref name=o/>

Pathan had a poor time in New Zealand. In the two T20 internationals preceding the ODIs, he took 0/38 and 2/41, conceding his runs at an alarming economy rate of 11.28. He was left out of all five ODIs during the tour before heading home.<ref name=o/> He then played in all 14 of Punjab's round-robin matches in the [[2009 Indian Premier League]] held in South Africa, taking 17 wickets at 22.94 with an economy rate of 7.74, and scored 196 runs at 19.60. He started strongly, taking nine wickets in four matches in the early stages of the tournament, before taking only two in the next five matches, and ending with six in the last three fixtures. Punjab failed to make the semi-finals.<ref name=o/>

Pathan's performances in the IPL were enough for him to retain his position in the national T20 team after his performances in New Zealand, and he then proceeded to the [[2009 ICC World Twenty20]] in England in June, where India were seeking to defend their title. He struggled in the warm-up matches, totalling 1/49 in five overs, and again in the first round of matches, bowling five overs and conceding 42 runs without success. Nevertheless, India defeated both Bangladesh and Ireland to move into the next round. He took 1/9 from two overs in the loss to the West Indies in the Super 8 round, and was left out for the remaining two matches, which India lost to be eliminated.<ref name=o/>

Since then, Pathan was dropped from the limited overs team and was then injured for an extended period, until he made his return to cricket in the Ranji Trophy in November. He played in six matches for Baroda as captain and was successful with both bat and ball, scoring 397 runs at 49.62 and taking 22 wickets at 18.54. In his most productive first-class season with the bat, Pathan made starts in eight of his nine innings, only failing to reach 24 once, and scoring four fifties, although he was unable to convert any to triple figures. In his fourth match of the season, Pathan top-scored in both innings with 68 and 81 as Baroda lost to Karnataka by an innings after making 153 and 223. He then took a total of 7/76 and scored 65 not out to secure a seven-wicket win over Saurashtra, and then totalled 7/96 in a seven-wicket triumph over Maharashtra.<ref name=o/> However, these performances were not enough to earn Pathan a Test recall. Furthermore, on 25 February 2010 the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced its list of 30 probables for the T20 World Cup to be held in the West Indies, the most notable omission being Irfan Pathan.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/t20-world-cup/Injured-Irfan-Pathan-is-left-out-of-T20-World-Cup-probables/articleshow/5617372.cms | work=The Times of India | first1=Dwaipayan | last1=Datta | title=Injured Irfan Pathan is left out of T20 World Cup probables | date=26 February 2010 | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100301172815/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/t20-world-cup/Injured-Irfan-Pathan-is-left-out-of-T20-World-Cup-probables/articleshow/5617372.cms | archive-date=1 March 2010 | df=dmy-all }}</ref>

Pathan took 5/100 in the first innings of the [[Duleep Trophy]] final against South Zone. His fifth wicket brought up his 300th scalp at first-class level.<ref name=o/> After cricket was engulfed in a series of corruption scandals in September 2010, Pathan told the media that he had received "three expensive gifts in his room" and, later, two further gifts that he could not afford.

==Playing history==

Kerala began competing in the [[1957–58 Ranji Trophy]], succeeding the [[Travancore-Cochin cricket team]] after the states were reorganized.{{sfn|Bose|1990|pp=388}} It competed in the South Zone, against [[Tamil Nadu cricket team|Madras/Tamil Nadu]], [[Karnataka cricket team|Mysore/Karnataka]], [[Andhra cricket team|Andhra]] and [[Hyderabad cricket team|Hyderabad]]. In 1957-58 Kerala lost all four matches, three of them by an innings.<ref>''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' 1959, pp. 856-57.</ref>

In the [[1959–60 Ranji Trophy|1959–60 season]], Kerala's [[Balan Pandit]] (262[[not-out|*]]) and George Abraham (198) put up a 410 runs partnership in the fourth wicket, which is the highest in Indian first-class cricket.{{sfn|Ramaswami|1976|pp=71}} Pandit's score remained the highest for Kerala in FC format until the 2007–08 season.{{sfn|Wisden|2014|pp=74}}<ref>{{cite web|title=Most Runs in an Innings for Kerala |url-access=subscription |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/India/Firstclass/Kerala/Batting_Records/Highest_Innings_For.html|website=CricketArchive|accessdate=29 June 2022}}</ref>

Kerala's best season in [[Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy]] was in [[2012–13 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy|2012–13]] season where they finished 3rd, missing out from finals after losing the last league stage match to eventual champions Gujarat.

'''Indian National Cricket Selectors''' are a committee of cricket administrators, usually composed of former cricket players and is appointed by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]]. Their responsibility is to select members of cricket teams to represent India at various levels. The term for selectors was increased from one year to two years in 2006,<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 14 March 2007| work = Rediff.com| title=2 Year term for Selectors| url=http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2006/jun/01selectors.htm}}</ref> with a provision for an additional year based on performance. The selectors are appointed by the BCCI's three-member Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), which currently includes Sulakshana Naik, [[Ashok Malhotra]] and [[Jatin Paranjpe]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=New Selection Committee: नव्या निवड समितीची घोषणा करताना BCCIने दिला मोठा धक्का, चार नवे चेहरे |url=https://www.maharashtratimes.com/sports/cricket/cricket-news/bcci-announces-new-selection-committee-chetan-sharma-back-as-chairman/amp_articleshow/96816051.cms}}</ref>

== History ==
Until 18 November 2022, [[Chetan Sharma]] served as a chief selector, and some members were: [[Debashish Mohanty]], [[Harvinder Singh]]
and [[Sunil Joshi]]. This panel was shut down after an unsuccessful tour of the Indian men's team in the 2022 T20 world cup.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 19, 2022 |first=Arani |last=Basu |title=After new BCCI selection panel, a different India captain for each format? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/after-new-bcci-selection-panel-a-different-india-captain-for-each-format/articleshow/95616316.cms |access-date=2022-11-22 |website=The Times of India |language=en}}</ref> On 4 July 2023, [[Ajit Agarkar]] was appointed as the Chairman of the Senior Men's Selection Committee. The current five-man selection committee, headed by Agarkar, consists of [[Shiv Sunder Das|Shiv Sundar Das]], [[Subroto Banerjee]], [[Salil Ankola]], and [[Sridharan Sharath]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

==Selection Committees==

===All India Women's Selection Committee===
This committee selects players for the [[Indian women's cricket team]]. This committee comprises only women who have represented India at an international level. Similar to the men's selection committee, its members are appointed from five zones of the nation. The following are the present members of this committee:

* [[Neetu David]] (chief selector)

* [[Arati Vaidya|Aarti Vaidya]]
* [[Renu Margrate]]
* [[Venkatacher Kalpana|Venkatcher Kalpana]]

==Composition ==
{{Uncited section|date=January 2023}}
The selection committee consists of five members and a convenor. Only the five members of the committee have voting rights on team selection. The convenor of the senior selection team is the incumbent Sr. Secretary, the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]], and that of the junior selection team is the Jr. Secretary.

The five members of the selection committee were traditionally selected from the five cricket zones: [[North Zone cricket team|North Zone]], [[Central Zone cricket team|Central Zone]], [[West Zone cricket team|West Zone]], [[East Zone cricket team|East Zone]] and [[South Zone cricket team|South Zone]]. One of the five members is chosen by the BCCI as the Chairman of the committee. The BCCI scrapped the zonal system in 2016 under pressure from the Lodha committee recommendation.

The [[Indian national cricket captains|Captain]] and Coach are invited to the selection committee meetings to present their opinions on team players. Moreover, they have voting rights in team selection.

== Controversies ==
'''Issues with the composition of the Selection Committee based on the Zonal system'''

* The biggest criticism of the traditional zonal system based on the five-member selection committee is the interest served by the committee members. The popular opinion is that the selectors constantly promote the interests of players from their zone or vote on players based on cross-promotion from other zones instead of selecting the best available team.<ref name='Wrightbook'>{{Cite web| access-date = 14 March 2007| publisher = ESPNcricinfo| title=Interview with John Wright on his book| url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/255081.html}}</ref> The BCCI tried addressing the issue in 2006 as part of its Shashank Manohar-led constitution review committee.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060928/asp/sports/story_6803878.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070930035742/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060928/asp/sports/story_6803878.asp |url-status=dead |archive-date=30 September 2007 | title=2006 BCCI Appointments | work=[[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] |date=28 September 2006 | access-date=4 May 2007}}</ref> However, the zonal heads' lack of consensus and concerns scuttled all the efforts to reduce the five-member committee to a three- or four-member national committee.
** In August 1998, the Rules Revision Committee composed of [[Satwinder Vishu]] (Special Invitee), [[Raj Singh Dungarpur]], Lele, Satwinder Singh (Vishu), S K Nair, N Subba Rao, Ratnakar Shetty, Bibhuti Das and Ranbir Singh recommended a comprehensive reconstitution of the national selection committee.<ref name='comesep'>{{Cite web| date=18 August 1998 | access-date = 14 March 2007| publisher = [[Rediff]]| title=Come September...| url=http://www.rediff.com/sports/1998/aug/18b.htm}}</ref> The Selection Committee consists of three members who have played at least 20 tests or 50 Ranji Trophy each. In addition, the selectors would be paid instead of being asked to take an honorary position, and would be aided by a five-member talent spotter team (one from each zone). Unfortunately, the recommendations of this committee report were never implemented, and the reasons remain unknown.<ref name='comesep'/>
** After the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]] debacle, where India was eliminated in the first round, the BCCI scrapped the zonal selection system and is looking to replace the five-man selection committee.<ref name='2007WCanalysis'>{{cite web | url=http://www.rediff.com/wc2007/2007/apr/07dravid.htm|title=Dravid retained as India captain |date=7 April 2007 |access-date=4 May 2007|publisher=[[Rediff]]}}</ref> The details of the new structure are still awaited.

* In his book John Wright's ''Indian Summers'', [[John Wright (cricketer, born 1954)|John Wright]], Indian National Coach (2000–2005), championed the need to have professionally paid selectors rather than have individuals play the role on an honorary basis. John Wright felt that professionally paid selectors could be held accountable for their actions.<ref name='Wrightbook'/> In the book, John Wright disclosed that he felt frustrated at certain decisions made by the selectors at various points during his coaching career.<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 15 March 2007| publisher = ESPNcricinfo| title=John Wright & his thoughts on Indian Cricket Team Selection System| url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/254901.html}}</ref>
** After the ''2007 Cricket World Cup'' debacle, where India was eliminated in the first round, the BCCI decided to scrap the honorary system for selectors and have paid selectors.<ref name='2007WCanalysis'/>
* Cricket coaches and ex-cricketers have debated the merits and demerits of the coach having a vote in the selection committee. Kapil Dev<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 15 March 2007| publisher = ESPNcricinfo| title=Kapil Dev selected as India's National Coach| url=http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/83972.html}}</ref> wanted voting rights when he took over as national coach. However, the BCCI never gave any coach voting rights in the selection process during his tenure. At present, the captain and coach have voting rights in team selection.

===Lodha Committee Recommendations and Subsequent Changes===

* The [[Lodha Committee]] provided recommendations that the Supreme Court of India ordered the BCCI to implement. One recommendation was to scrap the zonal system and appoint three national selectors who would all be test players retired for a minimum of five years. Thus, the BCCI was compelled to finally scrap the zonal system in September 2016. They advertised for applications and used personal interviews to pick the selectors.<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 4 October 2016| work = Deccan Chronicle| title=BCCI discards zonal method, to pick selectors through personal interviews| date = 11 September 2016| url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/sports/cricket/110916/bcci-to-pick-national-selectors-through-personal-interviews.html}}</ref> However, the BCCI differed from the recommendation in picking five selectors and in the eligibility criteria (allowing for ODI and first-class experience).<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 4 October 2016| publisher = ESPNcricinfo| title=MSK Prasad to head India's selection panel| url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/1058016.html}}</ref>
* The former commentator, coach, cricketer and captain Ravi Shastri criticized some of Lodha Committee's recommendations, arguing for five selectors.<ref>{{Cite web| access-date = 4 October 2016| publisher = Hogwired| title=Lodha Committee's Recommendation Unacceptable To Ravi Shastri| date = 25 September 2016| url=http://www.hogwired.com/lodha-committees-recommendation-unacceptable-ravi-shastri/214/}}</ref>

====Questions raised on selectors====
The national selectors often get slammed by many due to its irregular and unintelligible selection criteria and its process. Selectors expected to selects players by considering their performance in domestic cricket's top tournaments such [[Ranji trophy|Ranji]], [[Vijay Hazare Trophy]] to choose players for Test and ODI teams respectively. But often its alleged that they select players by considering their performance in [[IPL]] and ignore consistent performance in domestic cricket's. Many including [[Sunil Gavaskar]], [[Abhinav Mukund]] has slammed them (selectors- BCCI) for doing this. National selectors often select players for Test, ODI teams by considering players performance in T20 format (IPL specifically) instead considering Ranji trophy (First class) and Vijay Hazare trophy (One day format) national tournaments.<ref>{{cite web |title=Unable to understand these selections': India star shoots explosive tweet slamming BCCI for overlooking Ranji Trophy |date=24 June 2023 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/unable-to-understand-these-selections-india-star-shoots-explosive-tweet-slamming-bcci-for-overlooking-ranji-trophy-101687545282317.html }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title="IPL च्या कामगिरीवरूनच निवड होणार असेल, तर मग युवकांनी रणजीमध्ये खेळायचंच कशाला?" |trans-title="If the selection is happening on the basis of performance of IPL. then why youngsters should play Ranji trophy?" |url=https://www.lokmat.com/cricket/news/ind-vs-wi-series-former-indian-captain-and-legendary-opening-batter-sunil-gavaskar-has-slammed-bcci-selectors-for-ignoring-sarfaraz-khan-once-again-a-a593/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwjp_Lybp9v_AhXnV2wGHUCeC44Q0PADKAB6BAhSEAE&usg=AOvVaw1PLphf_jxjA2NJN6-x3SCl |website=[[Lokmat]]}}</ref>
==Finance==
In August 2018, the Committee of Administrators increased the salary of the national selectors in a meeting. In the meeting, it was decided that the remuneration of the members of the selection committee would be increased to INR 90 lakhs (USD 110,000) (from INR 60 lakhs) per annum, while the chairman of the panel would now receive INR 1 crore (USD 130,000) (from INR 80 lakhs) per annum.

Meanwhile, the remuneration of the members of the junior selection committee has been increased to INR 60 lakhs (USD 75,000) per annum, with the chairman of the panel now receiving INR 65 lakhs (USD 81,000) per annum.

The salaries of the women's selection committee have also been increased, with the members now receiving INR 25 lakhs (USD 31,000) per annum and the chief selector set to accept INR 30 lakhs (USD 38,000) per annum.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/indian-cricket-selectors-get-a-big-pay-raise/articleshow/65332392.cms| title=Indian cricket selectors get a big pay raise| work=The Times of India| date=9 August 2018|access-date= 2019-04-14}}</ref>

The '''Feroz Shah Kotla''' or '''Kotla''' ("fortress", "citadel") was a fortress built circa 1354 by [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Feroz Shah Tughlaq]] to house his version of [[Delhi]] city called Firozabad.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Firozabad - Delhi Govt Portal|url=http://web.delhi.gov.in/wps/wcm/connect/DoIT/delhi+govt/seven+cities+of+delhi/firozabad|access-date=2021-09-24|website=web.delhi.gov.in}}</ref>

A pristine polished sandstone [[Delhi-Topra pillar|Topra Ashokan pillar]] from the 3rd century BC rises from the palace's crumbling remains, one of many [[pillars of Ashoka]] left by the [[Maurya]]n emperor; it was moved from [[Topra Kalan]] in Pong Ghati of [[Yamunanagar district]] in [[Haryana]] to Delhi under orders of Firoz Shah Tughlaq of Delhi Sultanate, and re-erected in its present location in 1356. The original inscription on the obelisk is primarily in Brahmi script but language was Prakrit, with some Pali and Sanskrit added later. The inscription was successfully translated in 1837 by [[James Prinsep]].<ref name=jprinsep/> This and other ancient ''lats'' (pillars, obelisk) have earned Firoz Shah Tughlaq and [[Delhi Sultanate]] fame for its architectural patronage.<ref>William Jeffrey McKibben, [https://www.jstor.org/stable/4629462 "The Monumental Pillars of Fīrūz Shāh Tughluq"], ''Ars Orientalis'', Vol. 24, (1994), pp. 105–118</ref>

Other than the Ashokan Pillar, the Fort complex also houses the Jami Masjid (Mosque), a ''Baoli'' and a large garden complex.

==History==
Feroz Shah Tughlaq (r. 1351–1388), the [[Delhi Sultanate|Sultan of Delhi]], established the fortified city of Firozabad<ref name="sen2">{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Sailendra |title=A Textbook of Medieval Indian History |publisher=Primus Books |year=2013 |isbn=978-9-38060-734-4 |pages=98}}</ref> in 1354, as the new capital of the [[Delhi Sultanate]], and included in it the site of the present Feroz Shah Kotla. ''Kotla'' literally means fortress or citadel. The pillar, also called obelisk or ''Lat'' is an [[Ashoka pillar|Ashoka Column]], attributed to Mauryan ruler Ashoka. The 13.1 meters high column, made of polished sandstone and dating from the 3rd century BC, was brought from Ambala in the 14th century under orders of Feroz Shah. It was installed on a three-tiered arcaded pavilion near the congregational mosque, inside the Sultanate's fort. In centuries that followed, much of the structure and buildings near it were destroyed as subsequent rulers dismantled them and reused the [[spolia]] as building materials.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/other/019xzz000007682u00011000.html|title=West Gate of Firoz Shah Kotla|publisher=British Library}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/apac/other/019wdz000000709u00000000.html|title=Pillar of Firoz Shah at Delhi|publisher=British Library}}</ref>

In the pre-independence era, due to lack of auditoriums in the capital, most classical music performances were staged here or at [[Qutub complex]]. Later [[Ebrahim Alkazi]], then head of NSD, staged his landmark production of [[Dharamvir Bharati]]'s ''[[Andha Yug]]'' here and its premiere in 1964 was attended by Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]].<ref name=ht1950s>{{cite news|title=Capital's cultural affair began in 50s|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Capital-s-cultural-affair-began-in-50s/Article1-769751.aspx|newspaper=Hindustan Times|date=16 November 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130107233545/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/NewDelhi/Capital-s-cultural-affair-began-in-50s/Article1-769751.aspx|archive-date=7 January 2013}}</ref>

==Jami Masjid==
[[File: Old Mosque inside Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi.JPG|thumb|Jami Masjid]]
Jami Masjid is one of the most ancient and largest surviving mosque and monument, still in use. Architecturally it was built on a series of underground cells made of [[quartzite]] stone, covered with limestone. It is surrounded by a large courtyard with cloisters and a Prayer Hall. The Prayer Hall now in complete ruins was once used by the Royal Ladies. The masjid and its architecture is an example of Tughluq architecture.

The entrance of Jami Masjid lies on the northern side. It is connected by a causeway to the pyramidal structure of the Ashokan Pillar. This mosque was visited by [[Timur]] in 1398 AD to say his prayers. He was spellbound by its beauty and constructed a mosque in [[Samarkand]] in [[Transoxiana|Mawarannahr]] imitating the design of this Masjid. This mosque is also known to be the place where [[Ghazi ud-Din Khan Feroze Jung III|Imad ul Mulk]], a [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] Prime Minister, got the Emperor Alamgir II murdered in 1759 AD.<ref name="delhiinformation.in">{{Cite web|url=https://www.delhiinformation.in/tourism/monuments/ferozshahkotla.html|title=Feroz Shah Kotla Monuments – Jami Masjid Ashokan Pillars |website=www.DelhiInformation.in|access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>

==Topra Ashokan Pillar==
{{main|Delhi-Topra pillar}}
[[File:Ashokan Pillar at Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi.jpg|thumb|[[Delhi-Topra pillar]] at Firoz Shah Kotla as it stands today.]]
The Ashokan Pillar which is now within Feroz Shah Kotla is towards the north of Jama Masjid [Mosque]. The Pillar was first erected by [[Ashoka|King Ashoka]] between 273 and 236 BC in [[Topra Kalan]], [[Yamunanagar district]], [[Haryana]].<ref name=fort>{{cite book|title=Forts of India|last=Verma|first=Amrit|year=1985|publisher=The Director of Publication Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India|location=New Delhi|page=7|isbn=81-230-1002-8}}</ref>

Of note, there is another Ashokan Pillar, that is seen installed near the Hindu Rao Hospital, also erected by [[Ashoka]] in [[Meerut]]. This pillar, however, was unfortunately broken into five pieces after it was damaged during an explosion. The pillar was neglected for a century up till 1838 when after the [[Revolt of 1857]] [[Raja Hindu Rao]] took charge to transfer the Ashokan Pillar's broken pieces to Kolkata's [[The Asiatic Society|Asiatic Society]]. Within a year, the structure was put together and re-established.

Both the Ashokan Pillars were carefully wrapped with cotton silk and were kept on a bed of reed made of raw silk. These were hence transported on a massive carriage attached with 42 wheels and drawn meticulously by 200 men from their original places to Delhi by [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq|Feroz Shah Tughlaq]] to avoid any damage during the journey. Upon reaching Delhi, they were then transported on huge boats to their final destination, one within Feroz Shah Kotla and the other on the ridge near [[University of Delhi|Delhi University]] and Bara Hindu Rao Hospital.<ref name="delhiinformation.in"/>

==Script on stone==
[[File:DPPX 8.JPG|thumb|A close up of the inscription on the lat (obelisk).]]
[[File: Ashoka pillar delhi1.png|thumb|The inscription on Ashoka pillar at Firoz Shah Kotla.]]
The Sultanate wanted to break and reuse the Ashokan pillar for a minaret. Firoz Shah Tuhglaq, however, decided to erect it near the mosque instead. At the time of re-installation of the obelisk in Delhi, in 1356, no one knew the meaning of the script engraved in the stone.<ref>HM Elliot & John Dawson (1871), [https://archive.org/stream/cu31924073036737#page/n367/mode/2up Tarikh I Firozi Shahi – Records of Court Historian Sams-i-Siraj] [[The History of India, as Told by Its Historians]], Volume 3, Cornell University Archives, pp 352–353</ref>

About five hundred years later, the script ([[Brahmi script|Brahmi]]) was deciphered by [[James Prinsep]] in 1837 with help from scripts discovered on other pillars and tablets in South Asia.<ref name="jprinsep"/>

===Translation===
The inscription on the 3rd-century pillar describes King Devanampiya Piyadasi's<ref>another name for Ashoka</ref> policies and appeal to the people and future generations of the kingdom in matters of [[dharma]] (just, virtuous life), moral precepts and freedoms.

==Baoli (The Well)==
[[File:A Baoli in Ferozshah Kotla, New Delhi.jpg|thumb|The Baoli]]
The circular [[Stepwell|Baoli]], which means 'stepwell', lies towards the northwestern side of the Ashokan Pillar. It lies in the heart of a large garden constructed in the form of subterranean apartments and a large underground canal built on its eastern side through which the water runs into the well. This is the only circular Baoli in Delhi, and also one of the 4 Baolis, where the tank is not separated from the well. It once has a roof on it, which collapsed long ago, exposing the tank at the second level.<ref>[[Vikramjit Singh Rooprai]] (2019), Delhi Heritage: Top 10 Baolis, Niyogi Books p41</ref> Originally it had an entry from East and West, but now, only the west side is accessible. Due to security reasons, the Baoli is kept locked, but permission to visit can be obtained easily for research purposes from the Delhi circle office of [[Archaeological Survey of India]].

==Prayers at the Fort==
[[File:Firoz Shah Kotla, Delhi.jpg|thumb|Firoz Shah Kotla, Delhi]]
Every Thursday there is a huge crowd at the fort. It is popularly believed that [[Jinn]](s) descends at the Fort from the Heavens and accepts requests and wishes from people. A lot of wishes, penned down on paper, can be seen on the walls within the premises.

The association to [[Jinn]](s) seems to be not too old. It is only since 1977, a few months after the end of the [[The Emergency (India)|Emergency]], that there are first records of people starting to come to Firoz Shah Kotla in large numbers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/believe-it-or-not-inside-14th-century-delhi-fort-djinns-grant-wishes/story-IzFGQC0WBCHj2xhglDSKHO.html|title=Believe it or not: Inside 14th century Delhi fort, djinns grant wishes|website=hindustantimes.com/|access-date=2016-04-03}}</ref>

'''''The Indian Express''''' is an English-language Indian [[daily newspaper]] founded in 1932. It is published in Mumbai by the [[Indian Express Limited|Indian Express Group]].

The southern editions took the name ''[[The New Indian Express]]'', while the northern editions, based in [[Mumbai]], retained the original ''Indian Express'' name with ''"The"'' prefixed to the title.<ref>{{Cite magazine|author=ARUN KATIYAR |date=March 31, 1995 |title=Rs 220 crore Indian Express group of late media baron Ramnath Goenka splits|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/society-the-arts/media/story/19950331-rs-220-crore-indian-express-group-of-late-media-baron-ramnath-goenka-splits-807073-1995-03-31|access-date=2020-12-18|magazine=India Today|language=en}}</ref>

==History==

In 1932, the ''Indian Express'' was started by an [[Ayurvedic]] doctor, [[P. Varadarajulu Naidu]], at [[Chennai]], being published by his "Tamil Nadu" press.{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} Soon under financial difficulties, he sold the newspaper to [[Swaminathan Sadanand]], the founder of ''[[The Free Press Journal]]'', a national [[news agency]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2021}} In 1933, the ''Indian Express'' opened its second office in [[Madurai]], launching the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] edition, ''[[Dinamani]]''. Sadanand introduced several innovations and reduced the price of the newspaper. Faced with financial difficulties, he sold a part of his stake to Ramanath Goenka as [[convertible debenture]]s. In 1935, when ''The Free Press Journal'' finally collapsed, and after a protracted court battle with Goenka, Sadanand lost ownership of ''Indian Express''.<ref>{{cite book|last=Kaminsky|first=Arnold|title=India Today- an encyclopedia of life in the republic|date=30 September 2011|page=340|publisher=Abc-Clio |isbn=9780313374623|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wWDnTWrz4O8C&pg=PA340|access-date=3 February 2016|archive-date=29 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629115021/https://books.google.com/books?id=wWDnTWrz4O8C&pg=PA340|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1939, Goenka bought ''[[Andhra Prabha]]'', another prominent [[Telugu language|Telugu]] daily newspaper. The name [[Three Musketeers]] was often used for the three dailies namely, Indian Express, Dinamani and Andhra Prabha.

In 1940, the whole premises was gutted by fire. ''[[The Hindu]]'', a rival newspaper, helped considerably in re-launching the paper, by getting it printed temporarily at one of its Swadesimithran's press and later offering its recently vacated premises at 2, Mount Road, on rent to Goenka, which later became the landmark Express Estates.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://madrasminutes.com/2017/11/06/1940-the-year-of-fires/|title=1940 – The year of Fires|last=madrasminutes|date=2017-11-06|website=Madras Minutes|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809053346/https://madrasminutes.com/2017/11/06/1940-the-year-of-fires/|archive-date=2020-08-09|access-date=2020-04-10}}{{unreliable source?|date=September 2020}}</ref> This relocation also helped the Express obtain better high speed printing machines. The district judge who did inquiry into the fire concluded that a short circuit or a cigarette butt could have ignited the fire and said that the growing city had inadequate fire control support.<ref name=":0" /> In 1952, the paper had a circulation of 44,469.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Mani |first1=A.

After Ramnath Goenka's death in 1991, two of the grandsons, Manoj Kumar Sonthalia and Vivek Goenka split the group into two. Indian Express Mumbai with all the North Indian editions went to Vivek Goenka, and all the Southern editions which were grouped as Express Publications Madurai Limited with [[Chennai]] as headquarters went to MK Sonthalia.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://indiankanoon.org/doc/61205/|title=Manoj Kumar Sonthalia vs Vivek Goenka And Ors. on 9 March, 1995|website=indiankanoon.org|access-date=2020-04-10|archive-date=24 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211224044426/https://indiankanoon.org/doc/61205/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lawyerservices.in/Manoj-Kumar-Sonthalia-Versus-Vivek-Goenka-and-Others-1995-03-09|title=Manoj Kumar Sonthalia v Vivek Goenka and Others on 09 March 1995 - Judgement - LawyerServices|website=www.lawyerservices.in|access-date=2020-04-10|archive-date=19 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211019003203/https://www.lawyerservices.in/Manoj-Kumar-Sonthalia-Versus-Vivek-Goenka-and-Others-1995-03-09|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Indian Express'' began publishing daily on the [[internet]] on 8 July 1996.

This page presents some of the notable '''achievements of [[Sachin Tendulkar]]''', a former [[India]]n [[cricket]]er, universally regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time. Debates on Tendulkar's precise rank amongst his predecessors are unlikely to conclude soon. He was the sport's first batsman to score a double century (200 runs not out) in a single [[One Day International]] match, and is so far the only player to have scored 100 [[Century (cricket)|centuries]] in [[International cricket|internationals]]. He played [[first-class cricket]] for 26 years and one day, whilst his international career spanned exactly 24 years from 15 November 1989 to 16 November 2013.<ref>[http://www.divyabhaskar.co.in/news/SPO-sachin-tendulkar-personal-and-professional-interesting-facts-5306919-NOR.html Former Indian Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar Personal And Professional Interesting Facts].

'''Stephen Rodger Waugh''' {{post-nominals|country=AUS|AO}} (born 2 June 1965) is an Australian former international [[cricket]]er and twin brother of cricketer [[Mark Waugh]]. A right-handed batsman and a medium-pace bowler, Waugh is considered one of the greatest cricketers of all time.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamezy.com/blog/fantasy-cricket/greatest-cricketers-ever/ |title=50 Greatest Cricketers of all Time|access-date=5 January 2023 |publisher=gamezy}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153288.html/ |title=Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers of all Time|access-date=5 January 2023 |publisher=Wisden}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://list25.com/25-best-cricketers-of-all-time/ |title=25 Best Cricketers Of All Time|date=19 August 2019 |access-date=5 January 2023 |publisher=list25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://blog.playo.co/the-best-cricket-players-of-all-times/|title=The Best Cricket Players of All Times!|date=December 2020 |access-date=5 January 2023 |publisher=playco}}</ref> Waugh was a part of the Australian team that won their first world title during the [[1987 Cricket World Cup]]. As Australian captain from 1997 to 2004, he led Australia to fifteen of their record sixteen consecutive Test wins, and to victory in the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]].

==Early and personal life==
{{Main|Early life of Mark and Steve Waugh}}
Born at [[Canterbury Hospital]] in [[Campsie, New South Wales|Campsie]], a suburb in [[South-Western Sydney]] on 2 June 1965, Waugh was one of twin boys born to Rodger and Beverley Waugh. He arrived four minutes before [[Mark Waugh|Mark]], who went on to play cricket for [[Australia]] alongside him. Their father was a bank official and his mother was a teacher within the [[New South Wales]] Department of Education.<ref name="born">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp=4–5}}</ref> The family settled in the [[South-Western Sydney]] suburb of [[Panania, New South Wales|Panania]].<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=6}}</ref> The twins were later joined by two more brothers, [[Dean Waugh|Dean]] (who also went on to play [[first-class cricket]] in Australia) and Danny (who played first grade cricket for [[Sydney University Cricket Club]]).<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp=9, 13}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Danny Waugh makes his mark |url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/danny-waugh-makes-his-mark-20030407-gdgk82.html |access-date=12 January 2021 |work=Sydney Morning Herald |publisher=Nine Entertainment Co. |date=7 April 2003}}</ref> From an early age, the parents introduced their children to sport.<ref name="k8"/><ref name="p348">{{Harvnb|Perry|2000|p=348}}</ref> By the age of six, the twins were playing organised [[association football|soccer]], tennis and [[cricket]]. In their first cricket match, the brothers were both dismissed for [[duck (cricket)|ducks]].<ref name="k11">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=11}}</ref>

The twins came from a sporting family. Their paternal grandfather Edward was a greyhound trainer. Raised in the North Coast town of [[Bangalow, New South Wales|Bangalow]], Edward earned selection for the [[New South Wales]] Country team in [[rugby league]].<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=7}}</ref> He was about to join [[Sydney Roosters|Eastern Suburbs]] in the [[New South Wales Rugby League]], but had to give up his career due to family reasons.<ref name="k8">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=8}}</ref> Rodger was Edward's only son and was promising tennis player, who was ranked eighth in Australia in his junior years and was the state champion at under-14 level.<ref name="k8"/> On the maternal side, Bev was a tennis player who won the under-14 singles at the South Australian Championships. Her eldest brother Dion Bourne was an opening batsman who played for [[Bankstown District Cricket Club|Bankstown]] in [[Sydney Grade Cricket]] and remains the leading runscorer in the club's history.

The twins made their first representative cricket team when they were selected for the Bankstown District under-10s at the age of eight.<ref name="k12">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=12}}</ref> In 1976, the twins were the youngest ever to be selected in the New South Wales Primary Schools' soccer team. Playing for Panania Primary School, the twins swept their school to win the Umbro International Shield, a statewide knockout soccer competition, scoring all of their team's three goals in the final.<ref name="k14">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=14}}</ref> They were a key part of their school's consecutive state cricket championships,<ref name="k14"/> and were part of the school tennis team that came second in the state in their final year.<ref name="k15">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=15}}</ref> In his final year, Steve was the vice-captain of the cricket team and captained the state soccer team.<ref name="p348"/><ref name="k15"/> The twins were instrumental in New South Wales winning the cricket carnival without a defeat, in one match combining in a partnership of 150.

By this time, the increasing time demands led to conflicts between the sports, and were in one case delisted from a team due to a conflict of commitments.<ref name="k15"/> The twins progressed to [[East Hills Boys Technology High School]], which had a history of producing Australian international representatives in a number of sports.<ref name="k17">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=17}}</ref>

Aged 13, the twins were invited by their uncle Bourne, then the captain of Bankstown's first grade team, to trial for the club's under-16 team for the Green Shield, and both were selected. Aged fourteen, both made their senior grade cricket debut in 1979–1980, playing in the Fourth XI. The twins broke into East Hills Boys First XI in the same season,<ref name="k18">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=18}}</ref> and achieved the same level in soccer.<ref name="k19">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=19}}</ref> In 1980–81 the brothers were elevated to the Third XI mid-season.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp= 20–21}}</ref>

The brothers often formed a two-man team—in one match taking 16/85 between them.<ref name="k21">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=21}}</ref> At the end of 1980, the twins were selected in the state under-16 team for the national carnival.<ref name="k22">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=22}}</ref> The pair changed soccer teams to play in the reserve grade for [[Sydney United|Sydney Croatia]] in the state league being paid small amounts in the professional league. However, they quickly left as their cricket careers increasingly demanded more time.<ref name="k23">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=23}}</ref>

The brothers were promoted to Bankstown's Second XI,<ref name="k23"/> before being selected for the First XI in the 1982–83 season, aged 17, both making their debut against Western Suburbs. However, Waugh was dropped back to the Second XI,<ref name="k24">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=24}}</ref> He was regarded as an aggressive player, something that characterised his early international career.<ref name="p348"/>

The twins finished high school at the end of 1983.<ref name="k27">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=27}}</ref> In 1983–84, both were members of New South Wales Combined High Schools and the state under-19 team.<ref name="k26">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=26}}</ref> Waugh made 170 against Great Public Schools.<ref name="p349"/> The brothers were then selected for Australia for the first time. They had been named in the national under-19 team to play a Test and ODI series against the touring Sri Lankan counterparts.<ref name="k27"/>

The under-19 series pitted several future international players against one another.<ref name="k29">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=29}}</ref> Waugh scored 187 in the Third Test at Melbourne as Australia won 1–0.<ref name="k29"/> After leaving high school, Waugh enrolled in a teaching course, but withdrew after a few lectures.<ref name="p349">{{Harvnb|Perry|2000|p=349}}</ref> He made his maiden First XI century during the season with tons against Sydney University and Waverley.<ref name="p349"/>

At the start of the 1984–85 season, the brothers were included in the [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales]] state squad.<ref name="k33">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=33}}</ref>

At the end of the season, the twins signed a contract to spend the Australian winter to play for Egerton Cricket Club in the [[Bolton League]] in [[Lancashire]]. Each club was allowed to have one professional; Steve was officially designated as such but would split the earnings with Mark. The twins were billeted with a local family.<ref name="k36">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=36}}</ref>

However, during the year, an Australian rebel tour to South Africa was staged, breaking the boycott against the [[apartheid]] regime. Some players defected from the Australian Test team to play in South Africa. This resulted in [[Dave Gilbert (cricketer)|Dave Gilbert]] being promoted to the national squad, forcing him to forfeit his Esso scholarship, which allowed him to play Second XI cricket in the [[County Championship]].<ref name="k37">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=37}}</ref> Steve was selected to replace Gilbert with [[Essex County Cricket Club|Essex]], leaving Mark as the lone professional.<ref name="k38">{{harv|Knight|2003|p=38}}</ref>

In December 2017, his son, Austin Waugh, was named in [[2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup squads|Australia's squad]] for the [[2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricket.com.au/news/under-19-world-cup-squad-australia-captain-jason-sangha-austin-waugh-will-sutherland-lloyd-pope/2017-12-15 |title=Sangha, Waugh head U19 World Cup squad |access-date=15 December 2017 |work=Cricket Australia}}</ref>

==Domestic career==
Waugh made his first-class debut for [[New South Wales cricket team|New South Wales]] (NSW) in 1984–85,<ref name="p349"/> batting at number nine and bowling medium pace.<ref name=QvN198501>{{cite web|url=http://aus.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1984-85/AUS_LOCAL/SS/QLD_NSW_SS_07-10DEC1984.html|title=Queensland vs New South Wales at Brisbane, 7–10 December 1984|work=Cricinfo Australia|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> In the [[Pura Cup|Sheffield Shield]] final that season, he scored 71<ref name="p349"/> while batting with the tail to help NSW to victory.

==International career==
After ten first-class matches for NSW,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/1/1794/First-Class_Matches.html|title=First-Class Matches played by Steve Waugh|publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=22 September 2009}} {{subscription required}}</ref> he made his Test debut against [[India national cricket team|India]] in the 1985–86 season, in the Second Test at [[Melbourne Cricket Ground|Melbourne]]. He scored 13 and 5 and took 2/36 in the first innings.<ref name="p350">{{Harvnb|Perry|2000|p=350}}</ref><ref name="testlist"/> Failing to make a substantial score in the series (he tallied 26 runs in four innings), Waugh was retained for the [[Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 1985-86|subsequent tour of New Zealand]]. He had a good all-round match in the Second Test at [[Lancaster Park|Christchurch]], making 74 and claiming 4/56, but his batting average was only 17.40 for the series, scoring 86 runs.<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh had more success in the one-day format during the season. He made his debut against New Zealand at the MCG and took 1/13 and a catch. He did not bat as the match was washed out.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> He was retained for all of Australia's 12 matches in the triangular tournament, scoring 266 runs at 38.00 with two half-centuries, including a top score of 81 in the [[Australia Day]] victory over India.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> He took seven wickets at 33.00.<ref name="odilist"/> Waugh was retained for all four ODIs on the tour of New Zealand, scoring 111 runs at 27.75 and taking four wickets at 39.75.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

The Australian selectors persisted with Waugh, and he [[Australian cricket team in India in 1986-87|toured India in 1986]], despite having scored only 113 runs at 12.56 in his Test career.<ref name="testlist"/> During the three Tests, Waugh had limited opportunities and scored 59 runs for once out and took two wickets. At this stage of his career, Waugh bore a heavy workload as a bowler although he was ostensibly selected for his batting.{{Citation needed|date=May 2008}} He played in all six ODIs on tour, scoring 111 runs at 55.50 and taking seven wickets at 35.86.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

He bowled a long spell, taking 3/76, in the First Test against England at [[Brisbane Cricket Ground|Brisbane]] in 1986–87, then scored 0 and 28 as Australia slumped to defeat. In the Second Test at [[WACA Ground|Perth]], he made 71 and had match figures of 5/159 including 5/69 in the second innings, then he scored 79 not out in the drawn Third Test at [[Adelaide Oval|Adelaide]]. Scores of 49 and 73 in the last two Tests, gave him series figures of 310 runs (at 44.29) and ten wickets (at 33.60), a fighting effort in a team defeated 1–2. The win in the Fifth Test was the first time that Waugh was in a victorious Test team, in his 13th match.<ref name="testlist"/><ref name="p351">{{Harvnb|Perry|2000|p=351}}</ref> Waugh played in all of Australia's 13 ODIs for the home season, scoring 372 runs at 37.20 with two half-centuries and taking 21 wickets at 21.80.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> Waugh regularly performed with both bat and ball. In a match against [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]], he scored 82 and then took 4/48 but could not stop the visitors taking a one-wicket victory from the second last ball. He then scored 83* and took 2/30 in an Australia Day victory against England.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> He was unable to maintain his form in the finals, scoring one and one and taking a total of 1/78 as England won 2–0.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>
Early in his international career, Waugh was a natural, uninhibited strokeplayer who liked to drive off the back foot. He could score quickly, but was inconsistent at Test level<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/59675.html|title=Stephen "Tugga" Waugh is currently rated the world's best batsman|work=Cricinfo Australia|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|date=1 December 1996|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> and seemed better suited to ODI cricket.<ref name="az">Cashman, pp. 323–324.</ref> In the shorter game, he often accelerated the scoring in the later overs of the innings. As a bowler, he was known for his astute change of pace and was the pioneer in inventing a carefully disguised slower ball bowled from the back of the hand,<ref name="az"/> and regularly sent down the final overs, when his astute change of pace was difficult to score from. [[Allan Border]] often used Waugh as a final overs specialist in crunch situations and at his peak as a bowler, Waugh was the top slog overs specialist bowler for any conditions.

===1987 World Cup===
The [[1987 Cricket World Cup|1987 World Cup]], played on the [[Indian subcontinent]], was the turning point of Waugh's career. Having scored 19* in the death overs against India in the first match, Waugh's tight bowling in the closing overs finished with his dismissal of [[Maninder Singh (cricketer)|Maninder Singh]] in the final over, which secured a one-run victory.<ref name="az"/> In the following match against [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]], Waugh scored 45 before conceding only seven runs in six overs of bowling as the Australians won by 96 runs.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> In the following match against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], Waugh bowled the last over with the Kiwis requiring seven runs for victory: he restricted them to only three runs by taking two wickets in the over.<ref name="1988wisden">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/150635.html|title=Australia v New Zealand|work=Wisden|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|access-date=22 September 2009}}</ref> He ended with 2/36.<ref name="1988wisden"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65102.html|title=12th Match: Australia v New Zealand at Indore, October 18–19, 1987|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=22 September 2009}}</ref>

In the second round robin rotation, Waugh took 1/59 and scored 42 in a 56-run loss to India, before taking 2/37 in a 17-run win over New Zealand. In Australia's final group match, Waugh scored 10* before taking 1/9 from four overs in a 70-run win over Zimbabwe. Australia qualified for the semi-finals and faced co-hosts [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] on their home soil in [[Lahore]]. Batting first, Waugh hit 16 from the final over of the innings in a cameo of 32*,<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> a match that Australia won by 18 runs.<ref name="az"/> In the final, he scored an unbeaten five in a brief innings at the end of the innings. He was a key player as Australia defended a target of 254 against [[England cricket team|England]] at [[Eden Gardens|Kolkata]]. He claimed the wickets of [[Allan Lamb]] and [[Phillip DeFreitas]] in the 47th and 49th overs as England stumbled towards the end of the run-chase. Australia won by seven runs to claim the World Cup for the first time.<ref name="az"/> Waugh compiled 167 runs at 55.66 and took 11 wickets at 26.18.<ref name="odilist"/> These performances in tight situations earned him the nickname of "Iceman".<ref name="p351"/>

===Breakthrough tour of England===
However, Waugh continued to be inconsistent in Test matches. He made only 194 runs at 32.33 in five Tests in 1987–88 against the touring New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka teams.<ref name="testlist"/> His bowling helped to keep him in the team, with nine wickets at 29.67.<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh's ODI form remained strong, playing in all of Australia's 11 ODIs for the season, scoring 226 runs at 32.29 and taking 18 wickets at 23.50. He scored one half-century and took a haul of 4/33 in one match against Sri Lanka.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

A Test tour of Pakistan in late 1988 was unproductive, with 92 runs at 18.40 with one half century and two wickets at 108.00.<ref name="testlist"/> In 1988–89 against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]], Waugh mixed some batting failures with two entertaining innings of 90 and 91 on the faster pitches of Brisbane and Perth, respectively. He bowled a series of bouncers at [[Viv Richards]] at Brisbane and claimed 3/77 and 5/92 in the Third Test at Melbourne. Of Waugh's spell at Brisbane, [[Bill O'Reilly (cricketer)|Bill O'Reilly]] wrote:
<blockquote>The most significant incident of the Brisbane Test ... was the salutation young Steve Waugh served up, in the form of three consecutive bouncers, to visiting captain Viv Richards ... I took it immediately as an uncompromising message to the opposing skipper that Waugh was sick to death of the bouncer policy that the West Indies have for so long adopted as their standard method of attack.<ref>{{Harvnb|Egan|2004|p=42}}</ref></blockquote>

Waugh continued to perform strongly in the ODIs, scoring 270 runs as 38.57 and taking seven wickets at 49.42. His highest score and best bowling analysis occurred in the same match, taking 3/57 before scoring 54 against West Indies in Melbourne. Despite this, Australia still lost the match.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

Heading into the [[1989 Ashes series]], Waugh's batting average was 30.52 from 26 Tests.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/guru?sdb=player;playerid=1795;class=testplayer;filter=basic;team=0;opposition=0;notopposition=0;season=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;startdefault=1985-12-26;start=1985-12-26;enddefault=2004-01-06;end=2004-01-06;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;result=0;followon=0;seriesresult=0;captain=0;keeper=0;dnp=0;recent=;viewtype=bat_cumulative;runslow=;runshigh=;batposition=0;dismissal=0;bowposition=0;ballslow=;ballshigh=;bpof=0;overslow=;overshigh=;conclow=;conchigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;dismissalslow=;dismissalshigh=;caughtlow=;caughthigh=;caughttype=0;stumpedlow=;stumpedhigh=;csearch=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype|title=Statsguru – SR Waugh – Test Batting – Cumulative career averages|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> In the three-match ODI series that preceded the Tests, Waugh scored 113 runs at 37.66 and took three wickets at 54.00.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

Waugh finally scored his maiden Test century, 177 not out in the First Test at [[Headingley Cricket Ground|Leeds]]. It was a free flowing innings marked by square driving, in just over five hours of batting which helped Australia set the platform for a win with a large first innings. He followed this with an unbeaten 152 in the Second Test at [[Lord's]], adeptly shepherding his tailend partners to help Australia set up a winning 242 run lead in the first innings. He was not dismissed until the first innings of the Third Test for 43, by which time he had amassed 393 runs. Waugh scored 92 in the Fourth Test at [[Old Trafford Cricket Ground|Old Trafford]] in another win. He did not pass 20 in either of the last two Tests and finished the series with 506 runs at 126.5. He bowled less frequently, with only two wickets in the six Tests. It was on this tour that he first experienced back problems that would hinder his bowling. On the brief tour of India for the Nehru Cup ODI tournament that followed the Ashes series, Waugh played as a specialist batsman for the first time.<ref>{{Harvnb|Egan|2004|p=61}}</ref> He scored 88 runs at 22.00 and did not bowl a ball.<ref name="odilist"/>

As Australia returned home for the 1989/90 international season. He scored 378 runs at 37.8 in the six Tests in Australia and the one-off Test in New Zealand. The highlight was an unbeaten 134 against [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] in the Second Test in Hobart. This followed twin half centuries in the First Test. His focus on batting saw him aggregate only 1/19 with the ball for the seven Tests. Thereafter his Test form tapered off.

The ODIs followed a similar pattern. Australia played ten ODIs on home soil during the season, followed by five in New Zealand.<ref name="auslistodi"/> After taking two wickets at 38.50 in the first three ODIs, Waugh did not bowl again for the season. After scoring only 99 runs at 19.80 in the first nine ODIs in Australia, Waugh was dropped for the Second Final against Pakistan, which Australia won.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> He played in all five ODIs in New Zealand, making only 72 runs at 18.00.<ref name="odilist"/> He returned to the bowling crease in the Sharjah tournament, taking four wickets at 28.00 and scoring 98 runs at 49.00.<ref name="odilist"/>

In 1990, Waugh joined his twin brother [[Mark Waugh|Mark]] in an unbeaten partnership of 464 in 407 minutes for NSW against [[Western Warriors|Western Australia]] (WA) at the [[WACA Ground]], setting a world first-class record. Both teams were at full strength and WA's attack included Test bowlers [[Terry Alderman]], [[Bruce Reid]] and [[Chris Matthews (cricketer)|Chris Matthews]]. The twins ended with 216 and 229 respectively.<ref name="c322"/>

===Omission===
He suffered a form slump during the 1990–91 Ashes series in Australia, and was dropped for the Fourth Test at [[Adelaide Oval|Adelaide]] after making only 82 runs at 20.50.<ref name="testlist"/> He was replaced by his twin Mark, who scored a century on debut.<ref name="c322">Cashman, p. 322.</ref>

However, Waugh remained a regular in the ODI team, playing in all ten ODIs, scoring 141 runs at 35.25 and taking seven wickets at 49.42.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

Recalled for the Third Test in [[Trinidad]] during the 1991 tour of the Caribbean, he and Mark became the first twins to play in a Test match together.<ref name="c322"/> However, he failed to post a significant score and was dropped for the Fifth Test, Australia's only win for the series.

He played in all five ODIs and scored 86 runs at 28.66 and took five wickets at 30.60.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

Waugh remained out of the Test team for eighteen months and did not see action in the five-day format in 1991–92 season.<ref name="testlist"/> Nevertheless, Waugh played in all 18 ODIs for the season.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> In the triangular series, he scored only 146 runs at 18.25 but consistently took wickets, with 16 scalps at 19.00.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> As a result, he retained his position in the team for all eight of Australia's group matches in the subsequent [[1992 Cricket World Cup]] held in Australia and New Zealand. He scored 187 runs at 26.71 and took eight wickets at 34.63.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> He scored 55 and took 2/28 in a 128-run win over Zimbabwe as Australia failed to progress beyond the group stage.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

He returned as number three batsman for the 1992–93 home Test series against the West Indies, but his form was again moderate. His 228 runs at 25.33 was bolstered by a score of 100 in the Third Test in Sydney. Waugh called this "probably the most important hundred of my Test career ... word had reached me that if I didn't get runs, then I was going to be dropped".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/01/01/1072908847625.html|title=Steve Waugh writes|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=2 January 2004|last=Waugh|first=Steve|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> He continued to be a fixture in the ODI team, playing in all ten matches and scoring 213 runs at 23.66 with one half-century and taking nine wickets at 39.22.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

Solid performances on the tour of New Zealand, where he scored 178 Test runs at 44.50, enabled Waugh to hold his position on the 1993 Ashes tour of England. He completed his tour with 120 runs at 30.00 and three wickets at 57.66 in the five ODIs.<ref name="odilist"/> The three-match ODI series in England preceded the Tests and Waugh scored 41 runs at 20.50 and took five wickets at 30.20.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

During the Test series, [[Michael Slater]] became the regular opener and Boon returned to the middle order. Waugh gained the number six position ahead of two promising Western Australians, [[Justin Langer]] and [[Damien Martyn]]. In the Fourth Test at Headingley, Waugh's 157 not out earned comparisons to his efforts in 1989 and he shared an unbroken stand of 332 with Allan Border.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/153606.html|title=4th Test England v Australia, match report|work=Wisden|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|last=Johnson|first=Peter|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> He also scored half-centuries in the First and Fifth Tests and ended with 416 at 83.2 from limited opportunities – he played nine innings, only five of which were completed. Australia's top order batting dominated the English attack, and the tourists retained the Ashes 4–1.

===New approach===
Returning to Australia, he solidified his position by scoring an unbeaten 147 against New Zealand in an innings victory in the Third Test at [[Brisbane]], ending the series with 216 runs once dismissed.<ref name="testlist"/> He missed part of the 1993–94 triangular ODI tournament with New Zealand and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] due to a hamstring injury in late December, as well as the first two Tests against the South Africans. He returned for the end of the ODIs and ended with 141 runs at 23.50 and taking four wickets at 54.50.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> Waugh played in the Third Test at [[Adelaide Oval]] in late January with Australia trailing 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;home_or_away=1;opposition=3;season=1993%2F94;spanmax1=31+Dec+1999;spanmin1=01+Jan+1990;spanval1=span;team=2;template=results;type=team;view=results|title=Test Match Results: Australia v South Africa 1993/94|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> He scored a 160 and took 4/26 as Australia won the Test and levelled the series.<ref name="testlist"/> He was named as the international player of the [Australian] season.

He took 5/28 and scored 86 in the Second Test of the return series in South Africa at [[Newlands, Cape Town]] to help Australia level the series 1–1 after losing the first at Wanderers in Johannesburg. Another half century saw him end with 195 runs at 65.00 and his bowling was at its most productive in five years, with 10 wickets at 13.00.<ref name="testlist"/> In the ODI series, he received the player of the series for his all-round efforts, which hauled Australia back from a deficit of 2–4 to draw the series at 4–4.<ref>{{Harvnb|Egan|2004|p=108}}</ref> Waugh took 2/48 in the final match as Australia levelled the series by one run. He ended with 291 runs at 48.50 and five wickets at 56.40.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

At the conclusion of the tour, the [[Cricket Australia|Australian Cricket Board]] interviewed Waugh, along with David Boon, Mark Taylor and Ian Healy to discern their opinions on the direction of the team after the impending retirement of [[Allan Border]] as captain. In spite of Waugh's greater experience, Taylor was granted the captaincy, while Healy was made vice-captain.<ref>{{Harvnb|Egan|2004|p=109}}</ref>


The new leadership took the team to Sri Lanka for the Singer World Series ODI tournament and then on a Test-playing tour of Pakistan.<ref name="auslistodi"/> Waugh scored 53 runs at 17.66 and took five wickets in 16.20.<ref name="odilist"/> On the latter tour, Waugh made 73 in the First Test, which Australia agonisingly lost by one wicket.<ref name="testlist"/> His 98 in the Second Test at Rawalpindi was notable for his survival against a hostile barrage of short-pitched bowling from [[Wasim Akram]] and [[Waqar Younis]].

===Frank Worrell Trophy regained in 1995===
The West Indies had been the ''[[wikt:bête noire|bête noire]]'' of Australian cricket since winning the [[Frank Worrell Trophy]] in 1978. At the beginning of Australia's 1995 tour of the Caribbean, the West Indies had not lost a Test series since 1980,<ref name="Reiffel">{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/352855.html|title=We'll take it from here|publisher=ESPNcricinfo |last=Reiffel|first=Paul|access-date=22 July 2008}}</ref> and had not lost a Test series to Australia at home since 1973.<ref name="auslist"/><ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=64}}</ref> The Tests were preceded by an ODI series that was lost 1–4. Waugh scored 164 runs at 32.80 and took three wickets at 41.00.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> In a low-scoring, four-Test series, Waugh compiled 429 runs at an average of 107.25 and claimed five wickets (for 62 runs)<ref name="testlist"/> to win the player of the series award; his twin Mark was the next best batsman with 240 runs at 40 average.
[[File:Curtly ambrose2 crop.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Curtly Ambrose]], the West Indian bowler with whom Waugh had a much-publicised altercation during the 1995 Frank Worrell Trophy]]

Waugh was at the centre of a controversy during the First Test at [[Kensington Oval|Barbados]] when he claimed a low catch from [[Brian Lara]] in the first innings. Television replays were inconclusive, but suggested that the ball may have hit the ground. Lara, noted for accepting the word of the fielder without question, left the field.<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=66}}</ref> Following his dismissal, the West Indies' batting collapsed, and Australia went on to win by ten wickets.<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=67}}</ref> Waugh later faced accusations of dishonesty and cheating over the incident.<ref name="az"/>

After scoring 65 not out in the drawn Second Test at [[Antigua]],<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh defied the Caribbean pacemen on a green pitch at [[Queen's Park Oval|Trinidad]] suited to their hostile bowling during the Third Test.<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=69}}</ref> In the first innings, he scored an unbeaten 63 of Australia's 128 and had a mid-pitch confrontation with [[Curtly Ambrose]].<ref name="az"/><ref name="p354">{{Harvnb|Perry|2000|p=354}}</ref> After Waugh had evaded a bouncer from Ambrose, the pair exchanged glares. Waugh swore and told Ambrose to return to his bowling mark. An angry Ambrose had to be physically dragged away by his captain:<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=70}}</ref> a photograph of this moment has become one of the iconic images of cricket in the 1990s. It symbolised the point when Australia was no longer intimidated by the West Indies. Waugh "showed he was prepared to put it all on the line", said [[Justin Langer]], "in the toughest conditions [...] against probably the best fast bowler of our time. To stand up to him [Ambrose] and go toe to toe [...] gave us a huge boost."<ref name="Reiffel"/>

Nevertheless, the West Indies won the match and levelled the series. In the decider in [[Sabina Park|Jamaica]], Waugh took 2/14 in the West Indies' first innings of 265<ref name="testlist"/> and then arrived at the crease with Australia at 73 for three in reply.<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=71}}</ref> He compiled a long partnership of 231 runs with his brother Mark, who was eventually out for 126.<ref name="c322"/><ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=72}}</ref> Waugh was the last man to go, out for 200 after nine hours of batting. "Steve had made up his mind to bat and bat", wrote [[Paul Reiffel]], "to stay out there and anchor the proceedings. [... H]e copped a lot of blows on his arms, chest and ribs. When he came back to the dressing room at the end of day two, we could see the spots and bruises on his body [...]. I remember when I walked in [...] he didn't say anything to me, but then he didn't need to. We all pretty much knew that we just had to support him."

"He was in a trance-like state. [... I]n the wee hours of the second morning, a security guard was found rifling through Steve's kit bag. That incident [...] didn't affect his concentration. It all [...] just went to show how strong a character he was."<ref name="Reiffel"/>

Waugh played patiently and reached his double century with an all-run four to fine-leg off a quicker ball from [[Carl Hooper]]. He was the last man out. With a large lead on first innings, Australia dismissed the opposition for a low score to win a crushing victory.<ref>{{Harvnb|Piesse|1999|p=73}}</ref>

After some post-win [[wassailing]], Waugh retired to bed in his cricket whites, socks and baggy green. "[Y]ou could say that Steve's legacy gained a lot of momentum from his efforts at Jamaica", wrote Reiffel.<ref name="Reiffel"/>

He also took 4/34 in the Third Test.<ref name="testlist"/><ref name="p355"/>

During the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] on the subcontinent, Waugh scored 82 and featured in a 207-run partnership with his brother during Australia's first match against [[Kenyan cricket team|Kenya]]: an Australian record partnership at the World Cup. He made an unbeaten half-century in the quarter-final against New Zealand at [[Chennai|Madras]], sealing a successful run chase. However, he was less effective in the semi-final and final, failing to pass 20 on either occasion. Australia lost the final to Sri Lanka at Lahore.


After the World Cup, [[Geoff Marsh]] replaced [[Bob Simpson (cricketer)|Bob Simpson]] as coach.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/australia/content/player/6499.html|title=Profile: Geoff Marsh|work=Cricinfo Australia|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> The Australians started the new era with two ODI tournaments in Sri Lanka and India.<ref name="auslistodi"/> Waugh scored 366 runs at 40.66 with three half-centuries and took five wickets at 37.40 across nine matches.<ref name="odilist"/> The tour ended with a solitary Test against India in [[Delhi]], where Waugh was the only Australian to make a half-century in a defeat.<ref name="testlist"/>

Waugh failed to make a century in the five Tests of the 1996–97 Australian season against the West Indies, scoring 255 runs at 36.42 with three half centuries.<ref name="testlist"/><ref name="az"/> He also missed the Second Test against the West Indies after injuring his groin while bowling in the First.

The injury meant that Waugh was only available for six of Australia's eight ODI matches in the annual triangular tournament. Waugh managed only 159 runs at 26.50 and only bowled three overs without taking a wicket as he came back from injury as Australia missed the finals.<ref name="testlist"/><ref name="odilist"/>

Waugh returned to form on the 1997 tour of South Africa, averaging 78.25. He scored 160 in the First Test at Johannesburg, compiling a 385-run partnership with [[Greg Blewett]]. They batted for the entire third day's play to set up an innings victory. Waugh then top scored with half-centuries in both innings of the Third Test, which Australia lost. After the team's vice-captain [[Ian Healy]] was suspended for throwing his bat after his dismissal,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://static.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1996-97/AUS_IN_RSA/AUS_RSA_T3_21-24MAR1997_MR|title=3rd TEST: S.

He then scored 91 in the last match in a vain run chase.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

On the 1997 Ashes tour, Australia started poorly with a 0–3 loss in the ODI series, with Waugh managing only 60 runs at 20.00.

This continued as Australia lost the First Test by nine wickets, drew the Second Test, then won the toss in the Third Test at Manchester. Gambling on batting first on green pitch, Australia slumped to 3/42 in the first hour when Waugh came out to bat. He made 108. Similarly, he began his second innings with Australia on 3/39 and scored 116. These two centuries in a low-scoring match won the game. Australia levelled the series and regained the initiative, retaining the Ashes with a 3–2 result. Waugh's only other notable score was 75, scored in the Fifth Test win at [[Trent Bridge|Nottingham]], and he finished with 390 runs at 39 average for the series.

===ODI captain===
Waugh took over the captaincy of the [[one-day cricket|one-day]] side in 1997–98, after captain [[Mark Taylor (cricketer)|Mark Taylor]] and vice-captain [[Ian Healy]], the two oldest players in the team were dropped<ref name="k263">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=263}}</ref> following Australia's failure to qualify for the Australian tri-nations tournament in the 1996–97 season.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Planning began for a more modern team for the [[1999 Cricket World Cup]],<ref name="k263"/> with the batting prowess of new wicket-keeper [[Adam Gilchrist]] to prove critical.

However, with Gilchrist's elevation to opener in the finals series, Australia defeated the South Africans 2–1.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=265}}</ref> Waugh scored 53 and 71 in his two innings, and ended the series with 181 runs at 22.63. He bowled only four overs and took a solitary wicket in the series, which was his first ODI wicket in over a year.<ref name="odilist"/>

[[File:Stencil waugh.JPG|thumb|left|220px|[[Stencil]] drawing depicting Steve Waugh]]
Waugh scored steadily in the 1997–98 Test season against New Zealand and South Africa, getting to 80 three times in six Tests without going on to a century and averaging 40.89; Australia won both series. He bowled more often than in the preceding few years and took six wickets at 17.33.

The southern hemisphere season ended with Waugh leading his first overseas tour, a four-match ODI tour of New Zealand. He scored 112 runs at 37.33 and took three wickets at 42.00 as the series was drawn 2–2.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

On the 1998 tour of India, he hit 80 in the Second Test at Calcutta, but missed the following Test due to injury. He ended with 152 runs at 38.

He recovered to lead in the triangular tournament in India. Australia won both games to Zimbabwe but lost both to India. However, Waugh's men turned the tables in the final to beat the Indians by four wickets. Waugh contributed with bat and ball, taking 2/42 and scoring 57. This was followed by a triangular tournament in Sharjah, where Australia won all four group matches against India and New Zealand. This time, the Indians turned the table to win the final by six wickets despite Waugh's 70.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> Waugh totalled 254 runs at 28.22 and eight wickets at 33.50 for the two tournaments.<ref name="odilist"/>

Later in the year, he top scored with 157 in the First Test against Pakistan at Karachi, enabling Australia to force an innings victory and gain their first victory in the country for 39 years. It formed the basis of Australia's 1–0 series win, in which Waugh scored 235 runs at 58.75.

Waugh led the ODI team in a 3–0 sweep of Pakistan after the Tests, but he managed only 40 runs at 13.33.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/>

The following season, Waugh suffered hamstring injuries and missed the majority of the ODI tournament.{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} In the two matches in which he played, Waugh made only a duck and 20 and Australia lost both matches.<ref name="odilist"/><ref name="auslistodi"/> [[Shane Warne]] led Australia to victory in his absence,{{Citation needed|date=August 2008}} winning eight of the remaining 10 matches.<ref name="auslistodi">{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/guru?sdb=team;team=AUS;class=oditeam;filter=basic;opposition=0;notopposition=0;decade=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;season=0;startdefault=1877-03-15;start=1877-03-15;enddefault=2007-11-20;end=2007-11-20;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;followon=0;result=0;seriesresult=0;captainid=0;recent=;viewtype=resultlist;runslow=;runshigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;ballslow=;ballshigh=;overslow=;overshigh=;bpo=0;batevent=;conclow=;conchigh=;takenlow=;takenhigh=;ballsbowledlow=;ballsbowledhigh=;oversbowledlow=;oversbowledhigh=;bpobowled=0;bowlevent=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype |title=Statsguru – Australia – ODIs – Results list |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=21 December 2007}}</ref>

Waugh began the Ashes series with centuries in the First Test at Brisbane (112) and the Third Test at Melbourne but was criticised for taking singles off the first ball of the over, and exposing the tail-end batsmen to the strike. [[Stuart MacGill]] and [[Glenn McGrath]] fell to [[Darren Gough]] after one such instance as Australia collapsed in the second innings whilst chasing a small target. This criticism could be considered more than a little unfair, however, given his strong record overall of batting well with lower order batsman such as Merv Hughes, Jason Gillespie, Ian Healy, Shane Warne and even Glenn McGrath precisely by putting his faith in them. In the Fifth Test of the season, Waugh was involved in a century partnership with brother Mark for the second consecutive year. Again however, he fell within sight of triple figures for 96, while his brother reached his century. Australia won the Test and the series 3–1.

===Struggles in the Caribbean===
Mark Taylor retired at the end of the 1998–99 season and Waugh replaced him as Test captain, beginning with a tour of the Caribbean. Australia was expected to win as the West Indies had just been whitewashed 5–0 by South Africa.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} After easily winning the First Test, Australia was stymied by West Indies skipper [[Brian Lara]], who batted with [[Jimmy Adams]] for the entire second day of the Second Test. This led to a victory for the home side, and in the Third Test, Lara batted for the entire final day to secure an unlikely win by one wicket. This result placed Waugh under immense pressure and he made a controversial decision to drop Shane Warne from the team for the final Fourth Test.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Australia won the final Test despite a third consecutive century from Lara, and retained the Frank Worrell Trophy 2–2.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp=288–289}}</ref>

The subsequent ODI series between the two teams was drawn 3–3.<ref name="k291">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=291}}</ref> The series was notable for two incidents. In the fifth match at [[Bourda|Georgetown, Guyana]],<ref name="k290">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=290}}</ref> Waugh was facing the bowling of [[Keith Arthurton]] with his team needing four runs from the final over to win.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} He struck the last ball of the match into the outfield, and attempted three runs to tie the match.<ref name="k290"/> A crowd invasion resulted in all the stumps being removed, with Waugh out of his ground when the ball was returned by the fielder. The match was declared a tie.<ref name="k290"/> During the West Indies run-chase in the final match in Barbados, local batsman [[Sherwin Campbell]] was run out after he fell over because of a collision with the bowler ([[Brendon Julian]]) who was attempting to field the ball.<ref name="k290"/> This resulted in a crowd riot and Waugh was nearly struck in the head with a glass bottle.<ref name="k291"/> The match continued after Campbell was reinstated, but Waugh criticised the security and questioned the integrity of the match.

Waugh struggled in the lead-up to the World Cup, scoring 135 runs at 22.50 and taking two wickets at 33.00.<ref name="odilist"/>

===1999 World Cup victory===
Australia then had a slow start to the [[1999 Cricket World Cup|1999 World Cup]] in England. After a scratchy win against [[Scotland cricket team|Scotland]], Australia suffered defeats to New Zealand and Pakistan,<ref name="k291"/> so they had to win their two remaining group matches (against [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]] and the West Indies), then all three "Super Six" matches to progress to the semi-finals: this meant seven consecutive matches without defeat to win the World Cup.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=292}}</ref> After defeating Bangladesh, Waugh and [[Michael Bevan]] were criticised for deliberately batting slowly in order to minimise damage to the net run rate of the West Indies. This would enhance Australia's chances: if the West Indies' run rate remained high, they would qualify ahead of New Zealand. Since the Australians had lost to New Zealand, it would be the Kiwis that carried two points through to the next phase if the West Indies was eliminated. If the West Indies proceeded, then Australia would carry over two points from the win.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=293}}</ref>

When questioned about the ethics of this manipulation at a press conference, Waugh retorted, "We're not here to win friends mate".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cricket.deepthi.com/world-cup-cricket-1999.html|title=Australia Won the World Cup|publisher=CricketCircle|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> Having beaten India and Zimbabwe in their first two Super Six matches, Waugh saved his best for two must-win games against South Africa: he scored an unbeaten 120 against South Africa in the "Super Six" phase and 56 in the semi-final.<ref name="odilist"/> The latter match was tied and Australia progressed to the final,<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=294}}</ref> where they crushed Pakistan by eight wickets to win the trophy.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=296}}</ref>

The World Cup victory did not immediately turn around Waugh's fortunes in the Test arena. The following tour to Sri Lanka continued the difficulties, when Australia lost the First Test in [[Asgiriya Stadium|Kandy]],<ref name="auslist"/> a result exacerbated by a horrific fielding collision between Waugh and [[Jason Gillespie]]. Waugh's nose made contact with Gillespie's shin as both attempted a catch. Gillespie suffered a broken leg<ref name="k299"/> that sidelined him for 15 months,{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} and Waugh had his nose broken.<ref name="k299">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=299}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/84059.html|title=Jason Gillespie and Stephen Waugh injury update|work=Cricinfo Australia|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|date=10 September 1999|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> Although Waugh returned for the following match,<ref name="k299"/> the last two Tests were drawn due to interruptions from monsoonal weather.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} Waugh had a lean series with 52 runs at 17.33.<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh's team then travelled an inaugural Test against Zimbabwe at Harare.

===World record of 16 consecutive Test victories===
The 1999–2000 Test season, his first as captain in a home series, saw further change as Gilchrist ousted Healy from the wicket-keeper's position.<ref name="k299"/> With Gilchrist averaging over 50,{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}} the team went on to claim a clean-sweep of both Test series, 3–0 against Pakistan and India respectively.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp=300–302}}</ref> Waugh had a lean stretch during the Pakistan series, scoring 58 runs at 14.50,<ref name="testlist"/> but his team won by margins of ten wickets, four wickets and an innings respectively.<ref name="auslist"/> Waugh returned to form in the First Test against India at the Adelaide Oval, scoring 150 in the first innings. Waugh only passed fifty once more in the series to end with 276 runs at 55.20.<ref name="testlist"/> Australia won all three Tests by comfortable margins of 285 runs, 180 runs and an innings respectively.<ref name="auslist"/>

After losing their first match, his team proceeded to win the season's triangular ODI tournament without further defeat. They then toured New Zealand and won the ODI series 5–1, losing their final match, which ended a world record of 14 consecutive ODI victories.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=303}}</ref> They then swept the Tests against New Zealand 3–0 in early 2000,<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=304}}</ref> taking the Tests by 62 runs, six wickets and six wickets respectively.<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh led the way in the Second Test at the [[Basin Reserve]] in [[Wellington]] with an unbeaten 151 but otherwise did not pass 20, totalling 214 runs at 53.50.<ref name="testlist"/> His men had won all nine of their Tests during the southern hemisphere summer.<ref name="auslist"/>

His team continued their winning streak with an undefeated home season in 2000–01 when the West Indies were white-washed 5–0. The first two Tests were won by an innings,<ref name="testlist"/> and the Second Test at the [[WACA Ground|WACA]] brought a twelfth consecutive Test victory, surpassing the record held by the 1980s West Indies team led by [[Clive Lloyd]].<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|pp=310–311}}</ref> Waugh missed the Third Test with injury and Gilchrist led the team in his absence and kept the winning streak alive.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}<ref name="testlist"/> Waugh returned for the last two Tests and scored centuries in the first innings of both Tests with 121* and 103 respectively,<ref name="testlist"/> which Australia won by 352 runs and six wickets respectively.<ref name="auslist"/> Waugh compiled 349 runs at 69.80.<ref name="testlist"/>

Waugh then led the Australians undefeated in the triangular ODI tournament against the West Indies and Zimbabwe, despite employing a rotation system which saw the team often understrength with players rested.<ref>{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=312}}</ref>

===Failure in India===

The only significant result that Australia had failed to achieve during Waugh's international career was victory in a Test series in India.

Australia made an uncertain start to the [[2001–02 VB Series]], losing the first three of its preliminary matches. A rotation policy designed to ease the workload on older players while giving younger players experience appeared to unsettle the team, and was scrapped. Following this decision, Australia won four of the last five matches, but failed to qualify for the finals for only the third time in 23 years. In their final match, Australia needed a win and a bonus point against South Africa as New Zealand captain [[Stephen Fleming]], in retaliation to Waugh's tactics in the World Cup, had conceded a bonus point to South Africa in the previous match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/155077.html|title=VB Series 2001–02|work=Wisden|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|access-date=23 September 2009|author1=Richard Boock|author2=Paul Coupar}}</ref> The team's performance caused a reaction similar that of 1997.

Continuing as Test captain, Waugh led the team to a 2–1 victory in South Africa to retain Australia's ranking as the number one team.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}<ref name="auslist">{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/guru?sdb=team;team=AUS;class=testteam;filter=basic;opposition=0;notopposition=0;decade=0;homeaway=0;continent=0;country=0;notcountry=0;groundid=0;season=0;startdefault=1877-03-15;start=1877-03-15;enddefault=2007-11-20;end=2007-11-20;tourneyid=0;finals=0;daynight=0;toss=0;scheduledovers=0;scheduleddays=0;innings=0;followon=0;result=0;seriesresult=0;captainid=0;recent=;viewtype=resultlist;runslow=;runshigh=;wicketslow=;wicketshigh=;ballslow=;ballshigh=;overslow=;overshigh=;bpo=0;batevent=;conclow=;conchigh=;takenlow=;takenhigh=;ballsbowledlow=;ballsbowledhigh=;oversbowledlow=;oversbowledhigh=;bpobowled=0;bowlevent=;submit=1;.cgifields=viewtype |title=Statsguru – Australia – Tests – Results list |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=21 December 2007}}</ref> Australia crushed the hosts in the First Test by an innings and 360 runs, won the Second Test by four wickets, before losing the last.<ref name="auslist"/> His own form was poor,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/155058.html |author=Neil Manthorp|title=The Australians in South Africa 2001–02|work=Wisden|publisher=ESPN Sports Media|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> with 95 runs at 19.00.<ref name="testlist"/> He left the tour once the ODI series began. Arriving in Australia alone, he faced media questioning over his playing future. Waugh's reply was, "We've just beaten the next best team in the world 5–1, and all you want to talk about is getting me out of the team."

The speculation continued about the future of both Waugh brothers in the lead up to the Test series against Pakistan played in mid-2002.<ref name="k342">{{harvnb|Knight|2003|p=342}}</ref> The matches were hosted in the [[United Arab Emirates]] and [[Sri Lanka]], due to security concerns following a bomb blast inside Pakistan.<ref name="k341">{{Harvnb|Knight|2003|p=341}}</ref> Australia had a crushing 3–0 win, winning the two latter matches by an innings,<ref name="auslist"/> but the Waughs had little influence on the result.

The [[2003 Cricket World Cup|2003 World Cup]] came and Waugh's desire to return for a fifth World Cup was denied. A chance for a last minute reprieve came when all rounder [[Shane Watson]] was injured before the tournament. Waugh had been using his newspaper column to promote his bowling abilities and had been increasingly using himself as a bowler in an attempt to strengthen his case for a recall. However, his successor [[Ricky Ponting]] publicly called for the inclusion of then out of form [[Andrew Symonds]]. Ponting got his wish, and although the selection was regarded as being highly controversial at the time, Symonds established himself at international level with a series of match winnings innings.

During the April 2003 tour to the West Indies, Waugh made 25 in the First Test and did not bat in the Second, before scoring 115 in the Third Test victory.<ref name="testlist"/> Australia won all three Tests by nine wickets, 118 runs and nine wickets respectively.<ref name="auslist"/> He scored 41 and 45* in the Fourth Test to end the series with 226 runs at 75.33.

This came after a heated confrontation between [[Glenn McGrath]] and West Indian batsman [[Ramnaresh Sarwan]] as the hosts headed towards their target.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}

The Australian winter of 2003 saw Waugh score consecutive unbeaten centuries of 100 and 156 as Australia took a 2–0 sweep over Bangladesh with innings victories.<ref name="testlist"/><ref name="auslist"/> The Australian summer started in late-2003 and after scoring 78 and 61 in the two Tests against Zimbabwe,<ref name="testlist"/> which Australia won by an innings and nine wickets respectively,<ref name="auslist"/> Waugh announced that the 2003–04 series against India would be his last.

===Farewell season===
[[File:Steve Waugh Graph.png|right|thumb|350px|Steve Waugh's Test career performance graph]]
In the First Test, Waugh was involved in a controversial [[run out]] when he had a mix up with [[Damien Martyn]] and both players ended up at the same end. Martyn, who had established himself at the crease, sacrificed himself by walking out of his ground for Waugh, who had yet to score. This generated criticism that Waugh's farewell series was being put ahead of team victory. With long bowling spearheads [[Shane Warne]] and McGrath unavailable due to drugs suspension and injury respectively, Australia struggled to bowl out the Indian batsmen. After a rain affected draw in the First Test, the next two Tests were shared and Australia needed a win to reclaim the [[Border Gavaskar Trophy]] in the final Fourth Test at Waugh's home ground at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]]. Promoters paid tribute to Waugh by handing out giant red handkerchiefs to incoming spectators; Waugh had always used a red handkerchief to wipe perspiration while he was batting. Any hope of a win for Waugh's Australians disappeared when India batted into the third morning and amass 7/705 (with [[Sachin Tendulkar]] smashing 241*), obliging Australia to chase 449 with just over one day's play. Waugh's highest Test score of the season was his last: 80 in the Fourth Test at Sydney, which secured a draw for Australia. After an obdurate start to his innings, he took a more aggressive style once Australia had moved into a position of safety, striking several fours. It was the highest fourth innings score of his Test career. When he passed 50, several ferries on [[Port Jackson|Sydney Harbour]] sounded their horns in acknowledgement. A record fifth-day SCG crowd turned out to watch Waugh's final day as an Australian player.

Steve Waugh's approach led to a succession of victories and a record run of 16 consecutive Test match wins, beating the previous record of 11 by the West Indies. His 168 Test matches was the record for Test matches played until 2010; of these he captained Australia on 57 occasions, the fourth highest of all time, and Australia's 41 victories under his leadership, was the most of any Test captain, until [[Ricky Ponting]] surpassed him in December 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/stats/index.html?captain=1;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=matches;result=1;size=200;template=results;type=batting|title=Test matches won as Captain|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=23 September 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/8434421.stm|title=Australia captain Ricky Ponting sets Test win record|work=BBC Sport|access-date=30 December 2009 | date=30 December 2009}}</ref> He holds the record of having scored over 150 runs in one innings against each Test playing nation at the time.{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}}

==Playing style==
A shot that Waugh gradually developed (during the [[Cricket at the 1998 Commonwealth Games|1998 Commonwealth Games]] specifically) against spin [[bowling (cricket)|bowling]], the "[[Batting (cricket)#Slog and slog sweep|slog sweep]]" is theoretically technically unsound, but has proven highly effective against the spinners and even against faster [[bowler (cricket)|bowlers]] at times. What was also noticeable about Waugh (particularly in the Test arena) on his return to the side was his reluctance (and eventual refusal) to play, what he viewed as, the 'risky' [[Pull shot|hook]] shot, rather simply to either play defensively on the back foot, sway or duck out of the way. With this shot removed from Waugh's repertoire his batting developed a safer more reliable look and his Test match batting average steadily rose to around 50 for the remainder of his Test career.

Waugh's ability to continue to play despite a back injury that largely prevented him bowling further enhanced his reputation. He contributed to many one day victories but, often batting in the middle order, his first one-day hundred did not come until his 187th match, for Australia against Sri Lanka at Melbourne in 1995–96.

As a bowler and all-rounder early in his career, he had a great leg cutter that is full length and aims at off stump that tempts batsmen to hit over mid-wicket or right down the ground against middle order batsmen, or aiming outside off to tempt lower-order batsmen to drive into the infielders.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tupI5B-jf8 From the Vault: Tugga's fighting five-fer]
</ref>

==Outside cricket==
Waugh helps to raise funds for a [[leper]] children's colony, Udayan, in [[Kolkata]]. He reportedly also encouraged his players to learn about and enjoy the countries they visited and played in.

Waugh is a keen photographer and has produced several "tour diaries" which feature his images. In his latter years as a cricketer, he wrote for a number of newspapers. He insists on writing them himself rather than with the assistance of professional journalists. He is a prolific author and has written numerous tour diaries,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://biblio.com.au/steve-waugh/author/121088 | title=Steve Waugh Books - Biography and List of Works - Author of 'Out of My Comfort Zone' }}</ref> leadership and self-help books such as ''Never Say Die'' and ''The Meaning of Luck''. as well as an autobiography, ''Out of my Comfort Zone''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Waugh |first1=Steve |title="The Meaning of Luck" - Stories of Learning, Leadership and Love |date=2013 |publisher=SteveWaughBooks |isbn=978-0-9875641-0-8}}</ref>

Waugh was named [[Australian of the Year]] in 2004,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2004/s1031962.htm |title=Waugh named Australian of the Year |access-date=19 July 2008 |publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=26 January 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041027060513/http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2004/s1031962.htm |archive-date=27 October 2004 |url-status=dead}}</ref> in recognition of both his sporting achievements and charity work. Waugh is married to Lynette with three children and was named [[Australian Father of the Year award|Australian Father of the Year]] in 2005. Following retirement, Waugh established the [http://www.stevewaughfoundation.com.au/ Steve Waugh Foundation]. The foundation is aimed at children who have a disease, an illness or an affliction that does not meet the set criteria of other charitable organisations.

Waugh has stated that he has declined "a number of" approaches by the [[Australian Labor Party]] to run for political office, expressing the view that he is not suited to politics.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2005/s1488982.htm|title=Steve Waugh declines invitation to join political fray|work=AM|publisher=[[ABC News (Australia)|ABC News]]|date=24 October 2005|access-date=23 October 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Durkin|first=Patrick|url=https://www.afr.com/news/politics/steve-waugh--celebs-should-stay-out-of-politics-20130821-jha0r|title=Steve Waugh – celebs should stay out of politics|newspaper=[[The Australian Financial Review]]|date=22 August 2013|access-date=23 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181023121751/https://www.afr.com/news/politics/steve-waugh--celebs-should-stay-out-of-politics-20130821-jha0r|archive-date=23 October 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Biography ==

=== Early life and marriage ===
Uma Preman was born to TK Balakrishnan and Thankamani in [[Palakkad]], Kerala and grew up in [[Coimbatore]], a city in the state of [[Tamil Nadu]], India. Balakrishnan, a medical college drop-out, used his basic medical training to offer care to the locals while working in a [[cotton mill]] for livelihood. The admiration he received from the community made Uma interested in social work and the medical profession. When Uma was eight years old, her mother, Thankamani, abandoned the family for another man, leaving Uma fending for herself along with her three-year-old brother.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Destiny, don't meddle with Uma! |url=https://englisharchives.mathrubhumi.com/amp/features/women/english-news-1.193853 |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=English Archives}}</ref>

At the age of 18, Uma travelled to [[Kolkata]] to meet [[Mother Teresa|Mother Teressa]] and join [[Missionaries of Charity]]. After a brief period, she was assigned back to the Mission at Kerala, where she served as a [[caregiver]] for elderly and [[Terminal illness|terminally ill]] patients.<ref name=":4" />

During this time, Uma reunited with her mother, Thankamani, who asked Uma to move to [[Guruvayur]], a town in Kerala, to live with her. By that time, Thankamani was separated from her second husband and was overwhelmed with debt. In desperation, she pressured Uma into marrying Preman Thaikad, a wealthy travel agent that promised to pay off her debt in return. Uma soon found out that Preman, who was 26 years older than her, was suffering from a severe form of [[tuberculosis]]. Due to Preman's worsening condition, the couple spent most of their times together in hospitals. Preman died seven years later in 1997.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":4" />

=== Santhi Medical Information Center ===
During her frequent visits at the hospital with Preman, Uma noticed that many patients were failing to get appropriate medical care not just because of the lack of resources, but also the lack of medical information. She started helping other patients fill out medical forms and connecting them to doctors and services they needed. After Preman passed away, Uma continued receiving pleas for help, which prompted her to set up a medical advisory organization, Santhi Medical Information Center (SMIC), in [[Kottapadi]], a village near Guruvayur.<ref name=":0" /> She travelled round the country for three months, gathering information on available medical resources for specific ailments.

=== Organ donation ===
In 1999, Uma became one of the first altruistic [[Organ donation|organ donors]] in India when she donated one of her kidneys to Salil Balakrishnan, a 24-year-old patient with [[kidney failure]].

In 2014, Uma became aware of the low [[standard of living]] in the [[Attappadi|Attapadi]] tribal [[Tehsil|taluk]] in the ''[[Palakkad district]]'' of Kerala, and created ''Santhi Gramam'' ([[Literal translation|lit]]. Village of peace), a social welfare project, to alleviate the hardship of the locals. Under this project, SMIC set up several healthcare and educational institutions as well as basic infrastructure like water tanks, toilets and community kitchens. The project also created employment by incentivizing organic farming and [[Putting-out system#Cottage industry|cottage industries]] manufacturing agricultural products.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Pal |first=Sanchari |title=How One Dedicated Woman Set up Kerala's 'Village of Peace' |url=https://www.thebetterindia.com/94610/santhi-gramam-attappady-uma-preman-kerala/ |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=www.thebetterindia.com |language=en-US}}</ref> A major focus of the project was on improving [[Menstrual hygiene management|menstrual health]] of young females.

[[File:Copalaswami Ayyangar, Minister for States, Addressing the Rajpramukhs’ Conference in New Delhi on March 16 1952.jpg|thumb|245px|Gopalaswami Ayyangar, Minister for States, Addressing the Rajpramukhs' Conference in New Delhi on 16 March 1952.]]

'''Rajpramukh''' was an administrative title in [[India]] which existed from India's [[Indian Independence Act 1947|independence]] in 1947 until 1956. Rajpramukhs were the appointed governors of certain Indian provinces and [[States and union territories of India|states]].

==Background==

The [[British Raj|British Indian Empire]], which included most of present-day [[India]], [[Pakistan]], and [[Bangladesh]], was made up of two types of political units. [[British India]] consisted of fifteen provinces, all British possessions, ruled directly by the British in all respects, either through a governor or a chief commissioner, officials appointed by the viceroy. Existing alongside British India were a large number of [[princely states]], ruled by local hereditary rulers, who acknowledged British [[suzerainty]], including British control of their external affairs, but who retained local autonomy. At the time of the proclamation of [[Queen Victoria]] as [[Empress of India]] in 1875, more than 700 Indian princely states and territories enjoyed treaty relations with the British Crown. The exact relationship between the Government of India (controlled by the British) and these states varied enormously, ranging from treaties of alliance, defence, protection, or supervision to almost outright control. The British Crown assumed control of British India from the [[East India Company]] in 1857 and thereafter controlled the internal governance through a [[Secretary of State for India]] in [[London]] and a Viceroy in India.

The hundreds of princely states varied greatly in size, from [[Hyderabad state|Hyderabad]], with a population of over ten million, to tiny states. Most of the rulers of the princely states worked closely with a British political agent who was responsible to the governor of a British province, but the four largest princely states, Hyderabad, [[Vadodara|Baroda]], [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]], and [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]], had Residents directly under the authority of the viceroy. Two agencies, the [[Central India Agency]] and [[Rajputana Agency]], were made up of numerous princely states, and their political agents were appointed by the Viceroy.

==After independence under the Dominion of India, 1947–1950==
{{see also|Political integration of India|Annexation of Junagadh|Annexation of Hyderabad}}
On 20 February 1947, the British government announced its intention to transfer power in British India to Indian hands by June 1948. However by 16 May 1947, the [[1946 Cabinet Mission to India|Cabinet Mission Plan]] had failed to evolve a constitution for India acceptable to all contending parties. Subsequently, the British government announced on 3 June 1947 its intention to [[Partition of India|partition British India]] into two dominions. On 15 July 1947, the House of Commons passed the [[Indian Independence Act 1947]], to divide British India into the dominions of [[Dominion of India|India]] and [[Dominion of Pakistan|Pakistan]]. The House of Lords followed suit the next day. The Bill received the Royal assent on 18 July 1947. From this day the [[suzerainty]] of the British Crown over the Indian princely states lapsed as per 7(b) of the India Independence Act 1947, and with it all treaties between the British Crown and the Indian states also had a legal quietus. The rulers of the Indian States became sovereign rulers from 18 July 1947, and in principle they were free to accede to either of the two dominions or to remain independent. As per the provisions of the Act, on 15 August 1947 two independent dominions of India and Pakistan were established. The leaders in the Indian Independence movement put strong pressure on the Indian princes to accede their states to the Dominion of India. By 15 August 1947, virtually all of the rulers had signed an [[Instrument of Accession]] with the [[Governor-General of India]], giving power to the dominion government to make laws on the three subjects of foreign policy, communication and defence, and otherwise they remained sovereign rulers. These rulers also signed another agreement known as the "Stand Still Agreement", to provide continuity to any existing agreements between British India and their States.

Three Indian states namely [[Hyderabad state|Hyderabad]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]], and [[Junagadh State|Junagadh]], failed to accede to either of the dominions. Jammu together with parts of Kashmir was incorporated into India after the Maharaja [[Hari Singh]] was forced to seek Indian military intervention against the marauding Pakistani sponsored tribal lords (Afridis). In time, the two remaining states of Hyderabad and Junagadh were invaded and annexed by India.

In 1948 the Maharaja of [[Gwalior]] signed a covenant with the rulers of the adjoining princely states to form a new state known as [[Madhya Bharat]]. This new covenanting state was to be governed by a council of the rulers with a head known as Rajpramukh. This new state signed a fresh Instrument of Accession with the Indian dominion. Subsequently, many other Indian states merged with their neighbouring Indian states on the same lines to form the covenanting states known as [[Vindhya Pradesh]], [[Patiala and East Punjab States Union]] ([[PEPSU]]), [[Rajputana]], etc.

==Rajpramukhs in the Republic of India, 1950–1956==

In the intervening period the Dominion Government of India had set up a Constitution Assembly to formulate a new Constitution for India. Simultaneously each of the independent Indian rulers and Rajpramukhs of covenanting states had set up Constituent Assemblies for their respective states and also sent their representatives to the Constituent Assembly of India so as to make uniform laws for their respective states. The thinking among Indian leaders at that time was that each princely state or covenanting state would remain independent as a Federal state along the lines suggested originally by the 1935 Act. But as the drafting of the constitution progressed and the idea of forming a republic took concrete shape, it was decided that all the princely states/covenanting states would merge with the [[Republic of India]], and all the Maharajas would be provided with a [[Privy Purse in India|Privy Purse]] and privileges as enjoyed by them on 15 August 1947 by constitutional guarantees. Hence Art. 294, Art 362, Art 366, Art 363 were incorporated. Besides it was also decided that the [[Maharaja of Mysore]], the [[Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir]], the [[Nizam of Hyderabad]], and the Rajpramukhs of the covenanting states would continue to be the constitutional heads of their respective states. By 26 October 1949, the constituent assembly had finalised a new constitution for India and all the acceding [[Indian princely states]] and the covenanting states merged with the new Republic of India. In accordance with constitutional provisions all the Maharajas entered into another agreement with the Governor-General of India to provide for the specific privy purse amount, the right to their personal properties (as distinct from state properties), and the right to succession in accordance with the practice in their territories. These agreements were entered into before 26 January 1950 so as to bring them within the ambit of Art. 363. On 26 January 1950, India became a republic. The new constitution created four types of administrative divisions in India: nine Part A states, the former British provinces, which were ruled by an appointed governor and state legislature; eight Part B states, former princely states or groups of covenanting states, which were governed by a Rajpramukh; ten Part C states, including both former princely states and provinces, which were governed by a chief commissioner; and a [[union territory]] ruled by a governor appointed by the [[President of India]].

As per Art.366 of the Indian Constitution (as it existed in 1950):

Art 366(21): Rajpramukh means- 
(a) in relation to the State of Hyderabad, the person for the time being is recognised by the President as [[Nizam of Hyderabad]].; 
(b) in relation to the State of Jammu and Kashmir or the State of Mysore, the person who for the time being is recognised by the President as the Maharaja of that State; and
(c) in relation to any other State specified in Part B of the First Schedule, the person who for the time being is recognised by the President as the Rajpramukh of that State, and includes in relation to any of the said States any person for the time being recognised by the President as competent to exercise Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh, Patiala and East Punjab States Union (PEPSU), and Rajasthan.

==Governing Rajpramukhs, 1948–1956==

* [[Hyderabad State (1948–56)|Hyderabad State]] had its last Nizam, [[Asaf Jah VII|HEH Mir Osman Ali Khan]] (b. 1886 -d. 1967) as Rajpramukh of the state from 26 January 1950 to 31 October 1956.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Last Nizam - "Hero of his time" |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/the-last-nizam-hero-or-villain/articleshow/71152851.cms |accessdate=23 September 2019 |publisher=Timesofindia |archive-date=17 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190917110349/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/the-last-nizam-hero-or-villain/articleshow/71152851.cms |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Fact Check: The Nizam of Hyderabad never fled as Yogi Adityanath claimed |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-the-nizam-of-hyderabad-never-fled-as-yogi-adityanath-claimed-1401710-2018-12-03 |accessdate=23 September 2019 |archive-date=23 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923123211/https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-the-nizam-of-hyderabad-never-fled-as-yogi-adityanath-claimed-1401710-2018-12-03 |url-status=live }}</ref>
* [[Patiala and East Punjab States Union]] had [[Maharaja]] [[Yadavindra Singh]] (b. 1913 -d. 1974), the [[Maharaja of Patiala]], as the Rajpramukh and had [[Maharaja]] [[Jagatjit Singh]] (b. 1872 -d. 1949), the [[Maharaja of Kapurthala]], as the Uprajpramukh (Deputy Rajpramukh).
* [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]] had [[Krishna Kumarsinhji Bhavsinhji]] (b. 1912 -d. 1965), the former Maharaja of [[Bhavnagar State]], and [[Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji]] (b. 1895 -d. 1966), the former Maharaja of [[Nawanagar State]], as acting and regular Rajpramukh respectively. Meanwhile, [[Meghrajji III of Dhrangadhra-Halvad|Maharana Maharaja Shri Raj Mayurdhwajsinhji Meghrajji III Ghanshyamsinghji Sahib]], the former Maharaja of [[Dhrangadhra State]], on the establishment of the [[United State of Kathiawar]] (Saurashtra) in 1948, was installed as Uprajpramukh (Deputy Rajpramukh) and he served as Acting Rajpramukh during the absence of the Rajpramukh.
*[[Mysore State|Mysore]] had the [[Maharaja of Mysore]], [[Jayachamaraja Wodeyar Bahadur]] (b. 1919 -d. 1974) as Rajpramukh. He continued as governor from 1 November 1956 to 4 May 1964. He held office as Governor of [[Madras State]] (present-day [[Tamil Nadu]]) from 4 May 1964 to 26 June 1966.
*[[Travancore-Cochin]] state had the last [[Maharaja of Travancore]], [[Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma|Bala Rama Varma II]] (b. 1912 -d. 1991) as Rajpramukh from 1 July 1949 – 31 October 1956.
*[[Madhya Bharat]] had the last [[Maharaja of Gwalior]], Sir [[Jiwajirao Scindia]] (b. 1916 -d. 1961) as Rajpramukh from 28 May 1948 to 31 October 1956.
*[[Rajasthan]] had several Rajpramukhs, [[Bhim Singh II of Kotah|Sir Bhim Singh II]] (1909-1991), the [[Maharao of Kota]], from 25 March 1948 to 18 April 1948 and [[Bhupal Singh|Sir Bhopal Singh]] (b. 1884 -d. 1955), the [[Maharana of Udaipur]], from 18 April 1948 – 1 April 1949, then continuing with the designation of Maha Rajpramukh from 1 April 1949 to 4 July 1955; and [[Man Singh II]], [[Maharajah of Jaipur]], from April 1949 to October 1956. The Maharana of [[Udaipur, Rajasthan|Udaipur]] was appointed Rajpramukh and [[Kota Naresh]] was appointed Up-Rajpramukh of the Union of many former princely states of Rajasthan, and subsequently [[Maharana Bhupal Singh of Udaipur]] was appointed the Maha-Rajpramukh and the [[Kota Naresh]] was appointed the Up-Rajpramukh.
*[[Vindhya Pradesh]] had Rameshwar Prasad Singh, Maharaja of Singrauli as Rajpramukh but then he died, so [[Martand Singh]] the Maharaja of Rewa was appointed.

==After 1956==

On 1 November 1956, the [[States Reorganization Act]] took effect, which erased the distinction between parts A, B, and C states, and reorganised state boundaries along linguistic lines. Of the Part B states, [[Rajputana]] was merged with [[Ajmer-Merwara]] state to become [[Rajasthan]]; Hyderabad was partitioned among Mysore, [[Andhra Pradesh]], and [[Bombay state]]; [[Saurashtra (region)|Saurashtra]] was merged into Bombay state; [[Travancore-Cochin]] was merged with [[Malabar district]] to form the new state of [[Kerala]]; [[Madhya Bharat]] and [[Vindhya Pradesh]] were merged into [[Madhya Pradesh]]; [[Patiala and East Punjab States Union]] ([[PEPSU]]) was merged into [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] state, and [[Mysore state]] was enlarged with the addition of [[Coorg]] state and parts of Bombay, Madras and Hyderabad states.

By 1956, the system of voluntary unions of states was dismantled and the position of Rajpramukh abolished. New states were created along linguistic and ethnic lines, which tore apart the traditional ties that existed in the former princely states. As the princely rulers died one by one more time was being taken before their successors were recognised by the Government of India. When they were recognised it was usually after they were persuaded to accept lower privy purses or reductions in privileges. But many influential Maharajahs and Maharanis were not content with being mere nominal title holders enjoying privileges. They started contesting in elections either as independents or by joining political parties. Growing popularity and success of many of the former royalty in the hustings particularly Maharani [[Gayatri Devi]] of Jaipur and [[Rajmata of Gwalior]], [[Vijaya Raje Sindhia]] among others was not to the liking of Mrs. Indira Gandhi who had become prime Minister by 1966.

By the year 1969 Indian National Congress had split into Congress (Organization) and Congress (Ruling). Congress (R) was headed by Mrs. Indira Gandhi and to score public support she coined slogans like Garibi Hatao (Stop Poverty) which included promise to abolish the royal order. She de-recognized all the Maharajahs by a presidential order in 1969. But this was struck down by the [[Supreme Court of India]]. Eventually, the government by the 26th [[List of amendments of the Constitution of India|Amendment of the Constitution of India]] was successful in abolishing the Princely order. This process was completed by the end of 1971. Though a challenge to this amendment was mounted in the Supreme Court, the court neither heard the matter immediately nor gave any relief to the rulers. The case was ultimately decided against the rulers by as late as in 1993, by which time it had become fait accompli.

They have since only enjoyed their traditional styles and titles on a social basis and seem to have adapted well. Former royals like [[Captain Amarinder Singh]] - [[Maharaja of Patiala]], Maharani [[Vasundhara Raje Scindia]] of Dholpur even rose to post of Chief Ministers of Punjab and Rajasthan respectively till recently. Many others like [[Srikantadatta Narasimharaja Wadiyar]] - [[Maharaja of Mysore]], [[V. P. Singh]], [[Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji|Digvijay Singh]], [[Madhavrao Scindia]] and his son [[Jyotiraditya Scindia]], [[Arjun Singh (politician, born 1930)|Arjun Singh]], and many others have been active politics and been prime minister, governors, ministers, MPs and MLAs at different times.

'''Sadakat Aman Khan''' ([[Urdu]]: سداکت امن خان) popularly known as '''Mr. Harmonium''', is an Indian [[harmonium]] player who performs [[Hindustani classical]] music and fusion music. He belongs to [[Patiala gharana]]. He is the son of renowned vocalist, '''Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan'''.<ref>{{cite news |date=13 Mar 2020 |title= Interview ‘FUTURE OF INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC IN TOWN’|url=https://bartamanpatrika.com/detailNews.php?cID=16&nID=218329&P=1|work=Bartaman Patrika}}</ref>

==Early life==
Khan was born on 11 August 1997 into a [[Muslim]] family in [[Maldá, West Bengal]]. He received his initial training from his grandfather, Sangeet Acharya '''Ustad Md. Yunus Khan''', who was the senior disciple Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, son of The Legendary [[Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan]].

As a child he had little interest in music. His grandfather Late Yunus Khan was among the first to note his musical talents, and for some time trained him. However, he received his main training from his father '''Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan''', initially at his house. A strict disciplinarian, Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan would insist on voice training (Swar Sadhana) from four in the morning, and make Sadakat practice one note of the scale for hours on end. A whole day would be spent on practising just a single note. It was not until he was 14 that Sadakat began to truly enjoy his musical training.<ref>{{cite news |date=13 Dec 2019 |title= Interview ‘ARTICLE ON Sadakat Aman Khan’|url=https://www.openpr.com/news/2285837/story-behind-the-celebrated-personality-sadakat-aman-khan|work=openPR}}</ref>
