Nayan Doshi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nayan Dilip Doshi (born 6 October 1978 in Nottingham) is an English cricketer who currently plays for Derbyshire. He is the son of Dilip Doshi, who is a former Indian Test bowler. Doshi, a left arm spin bowler, first played for Surrey in June 2004, after already playing for the Indian side Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy.

At the end of the 2006 cricket season, Doshi signed a two year contract with Surrey, which was to end after the 2008 season. On 19th July 2007 Surrey announced that this contract had been terminated at Doshi's request.[1]

Doshi then signed a short term deal with Warwickshire until the end of the 2007 season.[2] Doshi was due to make his debut in Warwickshire's county championship match against Sussex on August 8. However, he was unable to do so owing to confusion surrounding the registration process.[3]

Nayan Doshi is currently the world's leading Twenty20 wicket taker, having taken 57 wickets from 36 matches.[4]
