Amit Surinder Pathak (born 30 November 1972) is an Indian former first-class cricketer who represented Andhra cricket team. He became a cricket coach after his playing career.

Life and career

[edit]

Pathak played as a right-handed batsman who normally opened the innings, making his first-class debut in the 1990/91 season. He represented India national under-19 cricket team in the following season, becoming the first Andhra player to appear for the national under-19 side.[1] Pathak went on to play 76 first-class and 56 List A matches, also making appearances for South Zone during his 15-season career. His career-best score of 264 against Goa in the 2000–01 Ranji Trophy was the highest score by an Andhra batsman in first-class cricket until the record was broken by Srikar Bharat in 2015.[2] Having captained the Andhra team in a few matches during his career, Pathak played his last first-class match in December 2004.[3]

After his playing career, Pathak turned to cricket coaching. He worked as the assistant coach of Andhra and remains in that role as of the 2015/16 season.[4][5]
