Sandeep Jyoti

Having arrived in Canada aged 14, Sandeep Jyoti wasted little time involving himself with the Mississauga Ramblers Cricket Club in Ontario. He has remained with the club throughout his career and is starting to involve himself in the coaching side of the game as well. He bats at the top of the order for Canada, making his debut in 2002 during their participation in the West Indies Red Stripe competition.

He narrowly missed out on selection for the 2007 World Cup despite being voted most valuable player in his domestic league the previous season but found himself invovled once again for the Intercontinental Cup Final against Ireland. He is a good character to have around who always wants to be involved; this is perhaps why he is happy to don the helmet and field in close when he is not being called upon to bowl his off-spin.
