Dnyaneshwar Agashe (17 April 1942 – 2 January 2009) was an Indian businessman, cricketer, cricket administrator and philanthropist.[1][2]

He was vice-president of Board of Control for Cricket in India from 1995 to 1999.[3] He became a member of the Maharashtra Cricket Association in 1969 and became the association's executive chairman in 1989.[4] He was chairman and managing director of the Brihan Maharashtra Sugar Syndicate Ltd., chairman of Kolhapur Steel and founder of Suvarna Sahakari Bank and Mandar Printing Press.[5]

Agashe and his family came into public scandal in 2008, in the Suvarna Sahakari Bank scam. While in judicial custody during the scandal, Agashe died of complications from diabetes.[6][7][8][9][10]

A wicketkeeper-batsman, Agashe played first-class cricket for Maharashtra between 1962 and 1968 and scored two half-centuries in 13 matches. His best season came in 1964–65 where he made his career-best 75, took ten catches and made two stumpings.[11]
