India's team to Bangladesh in 2000: Where are they now?

Saba Karim

The milestone match was Saba Karim’s first, and only Test match for the Indian team. One of the unluckiest players to have donned the Indian jersey, Karim’s promising career was truncated after a freak eye injury. Before that, he played 34 ODIs, first representing the team against South Africa in 1997.

With options in Sameer Dighe, MSK Prasad, and Nayan Mongia, Karim was pushed into the sidelines, before a comeback in 2000 saw him return, just to suffer a freak injury and was forcibly required to end his career.

Since then, he has worked as an analyst for various TV channels. In 2012, he became a selector from the East Zone under Sandeep Patil.
