Narayan Yashwantrao Satham (12 July 1949 – 12 February 2023) was an Indian first-class cricketer who played for Baroda. He worked as an administrator and coach after his playing career.

Career[edit]

Satham was right-arm fast-medium bowler who made his first-class debut for Baroda at the age of 18 during the 1967–68 Ranji Trophy. He became part of Baroda's pace trio which included Cecil Williams and Anthony Fernandes.[1] In a career that lasted until the 1984/85 season, Satham appeared in 84 first-class matches in which he took 193 wickets at an average of 31.31. He was also a handy lower-order batsman with more than 3000 runs including four centuries. Satham represented West Zone in Duleep Trophy and against touring Sri Lankan and English teams.[2]

Satham worked in cricket administrative and coaching roles after retirement. After officiating as a match referee in domestic tournaments, he worked as the head coach of the Singapore national under-19 and senior teams for three years until 1999.[3] In 2001, Satham, along with Mohinder and Surinder Amarnath, trained cricketers in Tangier, Morocco, as part of a cricket development pact with the Moroccan Cricket Association.[4][5][6] In 2008, Satham, Williams, Anshuman Gaekwad and Nayan Mongia formed the Veteran Cricketers Association.[7] He then had two tenures as the chairman of cricket improvement committee (CIC) of the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) and was a member of BCA managing committee until his resignation in 2018.[8] He also coached at the Sangramsinh Gaekwad Cricket Academy in Vadodara.[9]
