Mid-day's Clayton Murzello catches up with Saeed Hattea , a fast bowler who played two seasons for Mumbai before shifting to England.
Hatteea’s cricketing saga is fascinating. He studied at St Mary’s here before completing his schooling in London. He played for the English schoolboys in the late 1960s. In 1969, he returned to India and discovered that Vijay Merchant, then chairman of national selectors, was looking for him.
