Fabid Ahmed (born 27 July 1995) is an Indian cricketer who has represented Kerala and presently Puducherry on domestic cricket. He is a right-handed batsman and right-arm off-spinner.[1]
Domestic career
He made his debut for Kerala in 2014 and played six first-class matches and 11 List-A games for the state. He also captained many age-group Kerala teams.[2] In August 2018, he was one of eight players that were fined by the Kerala Cricket Association, after showing dissent against Kerala's captain, Sachin Baby.[3]
He was one of the four Kerala cricketers among Nikhilesh Surendran, Iqlas Naha and Abdul Safar who shifted their alliance to the newly found Puducherry cricket team ahead of the 2018-19 Indian domestic season.[4]
He made his List A debut for Puducherry in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 19 September 2018 against Manipur on Puducherry's first ever domestic match.[5] However, the next day, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) facing protests from other state associations, the BCCI has revoked the special allowance granted to Puducherry which allowed to play players from outside the state the team is located in, after concerns were raised that no local cricketers had played in the match.[6] Fabid was found matching BCCI's eligibility criteria which required the players to be either born in the state or be a resident for more than a year.[7]
He was the leading wicket-taker for Puducherry in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with eleven dismissals in five matches.[8] He was named the man of the match in Puducherry's first ever Ranji trophy victory in which he played a pivotal role with his all-round efforts scoring a century and taking six wickets (2/22, 4/8) in the match.[9]
