Former India batsman Ramesh Saxena dies

[Sir john]

Ramesh Saxena, the former India batsman, has died of a brain haemorrhage, in Jamshedpur at the age of 66. Saxena, who played one Test for India, in 1967, was serving as the secretary of the Bihar Jharkhand Cricket Association. A teenage prodigy, Saxena began his first-class career with a century for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy at the age of just 16. He was a stalwart for Delhi for many years, and earned a call-up to the India side for the 1967 tour of England. He scored 238 runs on the tour but got scores of 16 and 9 in the only Test he played, at Headingley. He also toured Australia and New Zealand in 1967-68 but never played another Test. He played 149 first-class matches, scoring 8155 runs with 17 centuries.

RIP Ramesh Saxena. Just a week back I was looking at his only test, Leeds 1967 - where India responded strongly with 510 in the 2nd innings and hoping we would repeat the same at Edgbaston! A prolific scorer for Bihar in the 70s.
