Domestic/State Teams
In his early days, he represented Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and took important wickets for the team. He also played for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. He chose Bengal because Mumbai had a strong batting lineup, so it was difficult for him to cement his place in the team. However, there were a lot of vacancies for the batsmen in Bengal. He also played for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy. He was chosen captain of the Bengal team in 2001–02 but was not successful in that role. In 2003, in an India A tour match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, he scored 139 and led his team to a seven-wicket win. His averages in domestic cricket were better, as a result, he was selected in the Indian team for the triangular series in Australia in January 2004 as a replacement for the injured Mohammad Kaif. After the selection he expressed his happiness and said,
“Couldn’t stop smiling for three days.”
