Reetinder Singh Sodhi pronunciation^ⓘ (born 18 October 1980) is a former Indian cricketer. He was an all-rounder from Punjab and was one of the options that Indian selectors had while looking for an all-rounder. He was the key member of India's first under 19 world cup winning team[1] Sodhi made his One Day International debut against Zimbabwe at Cuttack in December 2000.[2]

Career

He was selected in 2000 for the first intake of the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.[3] Reetinder Singh Sodhi was the captain in India's U-15 World Cup win in 1996, and later on was vice-captain in India's U-19 World Cup win in 2000.[4] Sodhi was included in the Indian One Day International squad in December 2000, and after his rapid rise into the national team at a young age, he was regarded as a long-term international prospect. He had also played for Ahmedabad Rockets in the Indian Cricket League.[5]

However, he was dropped soon after and has ceased to be among the front-runners for Indian selection. He now works as a match referee in first-class cricket.[2]
