Profile

Sunil Dhaniram played as a lower middle-order batsman for Guyana between 1992-93 and 1994-95 without ever making any real impression, scoring 270 runs at 19.28 in 12 first-class matches with a best of 57. He was more prolific in Guyanese domestic competition, with a top score of 152* for Berbice against Demerara. He subsequently moved to Canada and was first picked for them in 2004 as an allrounder, adding slow left-arm to his batting. He score a two-ball duck on his first-class debut for Canada - against USA - but hit a career-best 65* in the second innings. In one-day matches his bowling has become increasingly useful, and he took 4 for 10 against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cricket League. He was named captain for Canada's Intercontinental Cup matches against Kenya and Namibia in October 2007, when Ashish Bagai was ruled out because of work commitments.
