India's First Asia Cup Squad: Where Are They Now?
Some stalwarts of India's first-ever Asia Cup squad also served the Indian cricket team as coaches.
3. Ghulam Parkar
Ghulam Parkar represented India as an opener in 11 international matches from 1982-84. In the 1984 Asia Cup, he became the second-leading run-getter for India in the competition, scoring 54 runs in two games. His last appearance in international cricket was against Pakistan in Sialkot.
After the 1984 Pakistan tour, he couldn’t make it to the Indian team again. After the 1985-86 domestic season, he retired from all forms of cricket, scoring more than 5000 runs in 107 domestic outings for Mumbai. In the Ranji Trophy, he accumulated 3087 runs at an average of 49.79.
Parkar stays away from the media limelight and lives life with his family in Mumbai. The former India opener is often celebrated by Mumbai Cricket Association as he made some extraordinary contributions to the Mumbai cricket team in his eight-year domestic career.
