Thirumalai Ananthanpillai Sekhar (pronunciation ), born March 28, 1956 in Madras, was a medium pace bowler who represented India in Test cricket and one-day internationals.
Sekhar was one of the fastest bowlers in India in the early eighties. His two Test matches were in the 1982-83 season when he was flown out to Pakistan to replace the injured Madan Lal. He did not take a wicket in either match. He played a one-day international in that series and three more against England two years later.
Sekhar played for Tamil Nadu between 1976/77 and 1987/88 taking 74 wickets. His career best effort was 9 for 54 against Kerala in 1981/82.[1] He played for Madhya Pradesh for two seasons before bowing out of the game.
Since then his major contribution to Indian cricket is a bowling coach at the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai. He served as a national selector for a period of time.
