Ramesh Powar, former Indian off-
spinner, announced his retirement
from competitive cricket, bringing
down curtains on his distinguished 15-
year old domestic career. The 37-year-
old Powar had briefly donned national
colours in the early and middle part of
last decade, playing two Tests and 31
ODIs.
Powar took six wickets in two Tests --
both against Bangladesh while he was
relatively better in shorter format with
his fast off breaks yielding 34 scalps.
But he was a stalwart for Mumbai as
his 442 first class wickets are a
testimony.
He formed a potent spin attack with
Sairaj Bahutule during those years
when Mumbai won multiple Ranji
Trophies. Poor fitness and weight
problems were impediments towards
finding a permanent slot in the team.
Also, his best years coincided with
presence of Harbhajan Singh. Powar
during the end of his career played for
Rajasthan and Gujarat as a
professional.
