Top 5 cricketers who never played for India

Rajinder Goel

Another quality spinner whose career got steam rolled thanks to the “spin quartet” of India. This slow left-arm spinner, who represented Haryana in the domestic cricket, was one of the most feared tweakers in the Indian domestic circuit. He earned the respect of batsmen all over the country and even Sunil Gavaskar rated him as one of the best in the world. He featured in just one unofficial test against Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), but could never wriggle into the Indian test squad. He played during a time when India had an abundance of spin bowling options and even 750 wickets at an economy rate of 2.10 was not good enough to hand him a test cap.
