Prakash Bhagat, Once A Net Bowler For Indian Team, Now Sells Tea For Survival

By IANS News July 06, 2021 • 16:04 PM View: 2160

Left-arm spinner Prakash Bhagat, who was once called to bowl to the Indian team at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru because his action resembled that of New Zealand cricketer Daniel Vettori, is today living a hand-to-mouth existence, selling tea and fast food here.

In 2003, Bhagat received a call from the NCA asking him to report immediately in Bengaluru where Sourav Ganguly and his team were preparing for the New Zealand tour.
