Shri Syed Abid Ali: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday condoles the demise of former India all-rounder Syed Abid Ali, who breathed his last on March 12. A celebrated cricketer, Syed Abid Ali was a pivotal figure in Indian cricket during the 1960s and 70s, renowned for his versatile skills.

He represented India in 29 Test matches and five ODIs, leaving a mark with his all-round capabilities. His contributions were instrumental in India’s historic Test series victories in England and the West Indies in 1971, where his fielding, bowling and batting proved invaluable. His lion-hearted approach and dedication made him a respected figure in the Indian cricketing fraternity.

BCCI president Roger Binny remembered the contributions of the former player and extended his deepest condolences to the bereaved family.
