Padmakar Shivalkar Passes Away Of Old-Age Aged 84

Mumbai: Former Ranji Trophy star and a stalwart of Mumbai Maidan cricket, Padmar Shivalkar passed away due to age-related issues here on Monday, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) informed.

He was 84 and considered one of the best players not to have played for the national team.

Born on September 14, 1940, Shivalkar was a left-arm spinner, who served Mumbai cricket with distinction in a two-decade-long career.

Shivalkar was unlucky not to be selected for the Indian Test side as his career coincided with that of the legendary Bishan Bedi. He did a tour with an Indian team to Sri Lanka in 1973–74, playing in both matches and taking four wickets. But the matches were considered official Tests. IANS
