A 37 year old to play in IPL

Who said IPL is for young men? At 37, Sunil Joshi has landed a contract to play in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers.

A left-arm spinner, who could also bat well, Sunil Joshi played 15 Tests and 69 One-Day Internationals, before his career came to an abrupt halt in 2001.

The re-emergence of Sunil Joshi is heartening and if IPL continues giving opportunities to those tried and forgotten it can be forgiven for its excesses.
