Raghu Sharma is an Indian leg-spinner who boasts a tremendous domestic record, particularly in red ball cricket.
At the point of writing, the tweaker has bagged 57 wickets at 19.59 in only 11 first-class matches. His wicket-tally predominantly stems from his incredible 2022/23 domestic season spent in Sri Lanka.
Playing for Galle Cricket Club, Sharma finished third in the lowest bowling average charts (min 20 wickets) in Sri Lanka’s Major League Tournament (46 wickets at 15.71), narrowly behind fellow CricX client Kaumal Nanayakkara, and future international star, Wanuja Sahan.
Given his success, it’s surprising that he’s only featured in a handful of first-class matches in India, for Punjab (2017/18-18/19), and Puducherry (2034/24), respectively.
Known as a miserly leg-spinner, with a deceptive quicker ball akin to Rashid Khan or Shahid Afridi, he has been a key performer at State age-group levels in the past. In addition, he has acted as a net bowler for the Indian team, and IPL outfit, CSK.
Looking to head abroad in 2025, Sharma will be looking to replicate his exploits from his productive maiden UK stint in 2023. Playing for Longton in the strong North Staffs and South Cheshire League, the Indian tweaker snaffled 48 wickets at 13.08 – serious returns for what was his maiden UK stint.
Now a qualified coach, and with plenty of experience behind him, Sharma will be a stand-out spinning recruit for any club next summer.
