Biography

Born in India in 1976,[2] Sushil Nadkarni was considered to be one of India's most promising young players in the mid-1990s. In the 1994/95 Indian Under-19 season, he averaged 99, gaining him a place on the India Under-19 tour of Australia.[1] He played two Tests and two ODIs on the tour.[4] He played six times for Maharashtra the following season, but was unable to gain a regular place in the side.[1]

After gaining good results in engineering exams, he emigrated to the United States, eventually settling in Texas. He first came to attention in the USA in the 2005 inter-state competition, when he scored 171 and 214 in successive matches.[1]
