5 great Indian spinners who never played for the national team

#3 Sarkar Talwar

Agra born, right-arm off break spinner, Sarkar Talwar was another victim of the spin quarter and a few other bowlers at the time like Maninder Singh who was picked ahead of the Haryana player.

Having amassed a brilliant tally of 357 wickets in 106 matches, over a twenty-year career in domestic cricket, Talwar was down in the pecking order at the time, with Goel and Shivalkar also pushing for a place.

A cricketer with bags of ability, Talwar like Goel and Shivalkar would have got a shot in any other national team, at any other time. He retired from cricket in 1988.
