Mohnish Dinesh Mishra (born 9 February 1984) is an Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler.[1] He was banned from Indian cricket due to his signing with the rebel ICL. Subsequently, Mishra left the ICL and, following an amnesty offer from BCCI, returned to Indian domestic cricket.[2]
A middle-order batsman, Mishra made his first-class cricket debut for Madhya Pradesh against Railways in 2000/01 at the age of 16.[3] However, he played just two games in that season.[4] He also represented India at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2002.[5] But then he went through a period of four years without competitive cricket as he failed to impress the selectors of his state team. He made a comeback during the 2005/06 season, but his domestic career was cut short after he signed up with the Delhi Giants team in the now-defunct Indian Cricket League. Eventually the BCCI revoked its ban on the ICL players and Mishra returned to playing for his state team in 2009 and has been a regular member of the playing XI ever since. He signed up for Deccan Chargers in 2010.[6] Mishra went on to play 11 matches for them that season. He had a highly successful first-class season in 2010/11 as he accumulated 718 runs in 9 matches at an average of 59.83. In 2011, he signed a contract with the new IPL franchise Pune Warriors India.[7]
He was suspended on 15 May 2012 for spot-fixing issue, after a local news channel, India TV reportedly accused him along with four other players based on a sting operation.[8] After the corruption probe in June, Mishra was handed a one-year ban for bringing the game into disrepute while his Madhya Pradesh teammate TP Sudhindra was given a life-ban after he was found guilty of the charges.[9]
