Off spinner and pride of Jammu and Kashmir Parvez Rasool became the first cricketer from the valley to represent India in a One Day International when he stepped out to field against Bangladesh in the series opener.
Â
The 25 year old who hails from BijBehara  of  Anantnag district finally broke into the team in the on-going series after his failure to bag an opportunity in playing XI during 2013 tour of Zimbabwe.
Â
Rasool pocketed two wickets giving away 60 runs on his international debut.
Â
Â
The young lad from valley was also the first cricketer to get an IPL contract when he signed for the defunct Pune Warriors. The off-spinner had an outstanding performance for Jammu and Kashmir in the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season.Â
