Career
Khurasiya, a left-handed batsman, has the rare distinction of clearing the formidable and highly regarded Indian Administrative Services (IAS) exam before he made his debut for India. As of today he is an Inspector in Indian Customs & Central Excise Department.
His first class career stretches back to 1989/90, and includes seventeen consecutive seasons (1990–91 to 2005-06). He made his ODI debut with a brisk 57 off 45 balls against Sri Lanka at Pune in the Pepsi Cup tri-nations tournament in 1999 which also involved Pakistan. He played 10 of his 12 ODIs in 1999.
He was included in the 1999 Indian World Cup squad, but didn't get a chance to play in any match in the tournament.
In 2001, he made a comeback into ODIs by playing two more matches against Sri Lanka in a tri-series without much success. He never played for India again.
