Abey Kuruvilla About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (born 8 August 1968) is a former Indian pace bowler of the mid-1990s.
Kuruvilla stood like a tower 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) tall and coupled with his broad flame cut the imposing figure on the field.
Kuruvilla lead the pace attack on the tour of the West Indies in 1997, when Javagal Srinath was sidelined with a rotator cuff injury. While he returned adequate figures from that tour, and bowled decently in subsequent Test matches on flatter pitches, he was dropped from the team.
He retired from all cricket in 2000, and has taken up coaching.

National Selector From the West Zone[edit]

On 27 September 2012 Abey Kuruvilla was appointed as the national selector from the BCCI.[1]

Profile
Abey Kuruvilla was unfortunate to have been selected several seasons too late to the national team. Possibly the tallest player to play for India at 6'6", Kuruvilla, in spite of his well endowed physique, was not an express bowler. Thriving on his ability to swing the ball and later developing variations such as a well disguised slower delivery, he had his grounding under the tutelage of Frank Tyson as part of the BCA-Mafatlal Bowling Scheme. Kuruvilla took 35 wickets in his first full season for Bombay in 1991-92 and although widely expected to make the tour of South Africa in 1992-93, was overlooked.
