Abey Kuruvilla pronunciation (born 4 August 1968) is a former Indian pace bowler of the mid-1990s, notable for his 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) height and broad frame.[1] [2]He grew up in the leafy suburb of Chembur, Mumbai. He retired from all cricket in 2000, and has taken up coaching.

In his brief international career, Kuruvilla played in thirty-five international matches, ten Tests and twenty-five One Day Internationals, all in the same calendar year.[3]

Career

Kuruvilla lead the pace attack on the tour of the West Indies in 1997, when Javagal Srinath was sidelined with a rotator cuff injury. While he returned adequate figures from that tour, and bowled decently in subsequent Test matches on flatter pitches, he was dropped from the team. He announced his retirement from first-class cricket in April 2000 during the quarter-final of the Ranji Trophy, at 31, reasoning that he "had decided [to retire] at the beginning of the season itself that this would be [his] last season. He added, "A lot of young boys are coming up and I have to make room for them, there is no specific reason."[4]

On 27 September 2012, Kuruvilla was appointed as the national selector from the BCCI.[5]

He was appointed as talent scout for Mumbai Indians.[6]

On 24 December 2020, Kuruvilla was appointed as the national selector of the Indian Cricket Team.[7][8]
