Profile

Amit Mishra is thrilled, as anyone would be, by comparisons with Shane Warne. Mishra approaches the crease with a similar shuffle, then heaves his shoulder into the effort of giving the ball a big rip. But the similarity does not end there. Mishra's new streamlined look after losing a few excess pounds is just as Warne-like � and was achieved with less help from his mother's medicine cabinet. A confident and attacking cricketer, he first caught the eye while tormenting the England Under-19 tourists early in 2001 with big legbreaks and the odd fizzing googly. He is also invaluable in the field, patrolling large expanses between point and cover. Mishra, at his best on dry pitches, rapidly became an integral cog in Haryana's Ranji Trophy side, taking wickets by the bagful in typically Indian conditions. Mishra was called into a large Indian squad for the West Indies series at home in October 2002, but was disappointed not to be given a chance. But the absence of several senior players after the World Cup led to another call-up for the TVS Cup in Dhaka in April 2003.
