Ramesh Verma

Who was Ramesh Verma?

Ramesh Verma was an Indian cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and leg-break bowler who played for Northern Punjab.

Verma made a single first-class appearance for the team, during the 1965-66 season, against Southern Punjab. From the tailend, he scored 14 runs in the first innings in which he batted, and a duck in the second.

Eleven years later, Verma joined Newcastle-based side Benwell and played six games for the team in the 1976 John Haig Trophy, at which Benwell reached the quarter finals.

Between 1991 and 1999, 33 years after the close of his first-class career, Verma was still playing for Benwell Hill, making his final appearance in August 1999, at the age of 54, just nine months before his death.
