Abey Kuruvilla pronunciation , born August 4, 1968 was an Indian pace bowler in the mid 1990s and is widely regarded as one of the missed gems on Indian cricket.
Kuruvilla stood a towering 6 ft 6 inches tall and coupled with his broad frame cut an imposing figure on the field. He bowled with cunning and was capable of generating vicious pace and bounce, enough to trouble even the best batsmen, although he rarely made use of such natural gifts.
Kuruvilla spearheaded 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 for reasons that are unclear.
He retired from all cricket in 2000, and has taken up coaching.
