Amay Khurasiya  pronunciation (born May 18, 1972, in Madhya Pradesh) is a former Indian cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler.

Career

His career began in a promising fashion, having scored a half century against Sri Lanka in the Pepsi Cup in 1999. He was included in the Indian World Cup squad in the same year, but did not play a single match.

His first class career stretches back to 1989/90, and includes three consecutive seasons (1990–91 to 1993–94) where he scored 5000 runs in a season. Though his career chances were boosted in 2001 by an injury to Sachin Tendulkar, he did not perform quite as well, as his style of play means that on several occasions, he failed to handle short balls.

Retirement

Amay Khurasiya announced his retirement from first class cricket on 22 April 2007. Later, he was dropped from Madhya Pradesh Ranji team. He told reporters he would continue to serve the game through coaching. He is the only level three coach of Madhya Pradesh.
