Javagal Srinath was one of the fastest and most fearsome bowlers to have played for India. He was known for his ability to bowl at a quick pace and swing the ball as well.
Unfortunately, he managed to play only one game in the 2002 Champions trophy and conceded 55 runs in the 8 overs he bowled.
He retired shortly after the 2003 world cup and played for the Lashings World XI in 2005. He was also the former secretary of the Karnataka State Cricket Association and is currently an ICC match referee.
