Profile:

Ashish Nehra has sneaked ahead of the pack of Indian medium-pacers with his uncanny knack to move the ball both ways. After making his Test debut in February 1999 in the Asian Test Championship against Sri Lanka, Nehra found himself in the wilderness for more than two years. When presented with a second opportunity in Zimbabwe, the left-arm seamer from Delhi ensured that he cemented his place in the squad with some good performances. There were disappointments for the youngster as he was banished from the attack for running onto the wicket in the Bulawayo Test match. And later, he found himself in the sidelines with a groin injury. Nehra was kept out of the squad for the tri-series in South Africa, after the team physio Andrew Leipus insisted that he had to go through the whole rehabilitation programme.

After a below-par performance in the Bloemfontein Test, Nehra was given the shock treatment by the selectors, who dropped him from the Test squad that took on the visiting England team. Nehra forced his way back with an impressive performance in the domestic season and was soon an integral part of the Indian seam attack in the Carribean Isles. He was particularly successful against Brian Lara, claiming the wicket of the master batsman on many occasions in the series. In the Port of Spain Test, Nehra set up the memorable Indian victory by picking the crucial wickets of Lara and Carl Hooper in quick succession.

Nehra did not perform well in conditions that favoured him during the tour of England and New Zealand. With the return of Javagal Srinath, Nehra finds himself as the third seam bowler in the Indian side. Nehra will be a more potent bowler if he finds back the ability to move the ball both ways during the World Cup 2003.(Santhosh S)
