Barun Burman (born 5 November 1954) is an Indian former first-class cricketer who represented Bengal from 1972 to 1986. He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler, regarded as "probably the fastest bowler Bengal has ever produced".[1] After retirement, he became a coach and then a selector.
Born on 5 November 1954 in Calcutta, Burman made his first-class debut at the age of 17 playing for AN Ghosh XI in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament. He went on to appear in 54 first-class and 11 List A matches, representing Bengal, East Zone, Rest of India and BCCI Board President's XI. He came close to national team selection having been named in the probables list on a few tours, but never made it to the Indian squad. He finished his career with 146 first-class wickets at an average of 29.36.[2]
Burman became a cricket coach after retirement. He started a cricket academy in Kolkata in 2004 called "Barun Burman Cricket Academy" where he organized coaching camps for age-group cricketers.[1] Later the name was changed to "Aditya Barun Burman Academy". He also worked for the Cricket Association of Bengal as a selector on its senior and junior selection committees. He was appointed the chief of junior selection committee in 2008.[3] [4]
