The curious case of Mohnish Parmar

The case of Gujarat offspinner Mohnish Parmar is becoming curiouser and curiouser. It has been three years since doubts were raised by umpires and players regarding his now infamous doosra and yet the BCCI let him play in all the domestic tournaments. He was even picked for India ‘A’, writes Makarand Waingankar in the Hindu.

Parmar who relies more on his doosra than any other variety is not convinced that his action is suspect and that is the real problem. Unlike Laxmipathy Balaji who was convinced that he needed to remodel his action after the back injury if at all he had to get back to competitive cricket, Parmar feels he will lose the doosra if he changes the action.
