Babu Meman ?

Welcome to the forum, sumant! Hope you find things useful here.

As for the answer, nice try, but its not Babu Meman.

Let me add a clue for everyone: Although he played all the roles I have specified in the question, he did not perform them at the highest level. But he sure was a very influential character in domestic circuit.

Is it the late Abi Hamid?

[CrimsonAvenger]

If it was a guess, it was a very good one. It is indeed the late Abid Hamid. I took the photo from here: http://www.zimbojam.com/lifestyle/happe ... -dies.html

It is a nice article about him too. ZC actually conducted a local tournament to honour him soon after his death. The tournament paved way for Mark Vermeulen to make an international comeback, as he did well there and got Man of the series award. More here in ZCN and brmtaylor.com archives:

An educated guess .
I originally thought it may have been Judge Ahmed Ebrahim, but your clues pointed to more of a stalwart of the club scene, hence Abid Hamid. I remembered reading a couple of articles on cricinfo/brmtaylor.com about him.

Actually, we have covered the great Justice Ebrahim as early as Page 16 of this Photo Quiz thread : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=364&p=5363#p5359

Yes, quizzing is as much about educated guesses as it is about knowing things.

Tatenda Taibu?

You are right! The photo is from the times of IPL season 1, when he had visited India with his family.

Here is the original picture:
