Sunil Subramaniam (born 28 May 1967) is a former Indian first-class cricketer and the current head coach of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Academy.[1] During his playing career, Subramaniam represented Tamil Nadu cricket team and Assam cricket team. He took up the job of cricket coaching in 2005.

Career

Subramaniam was a slow left-arm orthodox spinner who played for Tamil Nadu cricket team for ten seasons from 1988/89 to 1997/98 before getting dropped from the team. He then played one season for Assam cricket team in 2000/01.[2] Despite having a successful first-class career, he was never considered for India selection. He appeared for Rest of India in 1994/95 Irani Trophy against Mumbai.[3]

During his playing career, Subramaniam also worked for the Indian IT company HCL Technologies.[4]

Subramaniam retired from competitive cricket in 2001 at the age of 34. He made the retirement call after tearing a ligament in his left leg during practice following which he underwent two operations.[3] He had two simultaneous injuries at the time of retirement, with blades inserted into both his legs.[4] He was regarded to be among "the most feared bowlers in first class cricket" for his bowling skills and aggressive approach.[3]

In 2005, he became the coach of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Academy. He has been the coach of Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin since Ashwin's under-19 days at Tamil Nadu.[5]
