Neetan Chouhan (born 3 April 1983) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer.[1] He played twenty first-class matches between 2000 and 2007.[2]
Chouhan was introduced to cricket by his father, Nick, a former player and long-term administrator at the Mashonaland Cricket Union.[3] Chouhan initially played for Selborne Routledge Primary School, Harare, before moving to Sharon School.[3]
His cricketing prowess emerged at the age of 10, and he pivoted to leg-spin in high school, impressively claiming five wickets in his debut spin attempt.[3] His school years were filled with representation at different levels, including the national Under-16 team, Mashonaland sides, and a Zimbabwe development tour to Kenya.[3] His best batting performance was 104 not out against Watershed School.[3]
Upon school graduation in 2001, Chouhan joined the CFX Academy, and simultaneously navigated club cricket, moving from Sunrise to Old Hararians and finally Universals to seek higher-level competition.[3] He primarily fielded in the cover area and occasionally at short leg.[3]
