L. T. Adisesh

Linganatha Thammiam Adisesh, usually known as L. T. Adisesh (11 May 1927 – 19 November 2016), was an Indian cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1947 to 1956. He became a doctor and practised in England.

Adisesh was a middle-order batsman and all-rounder. While studying medicine at the University of Mysore he represented the university in the Rohinton Baria Trophy, scoring 185 when Mysore won the final in 1950–51. He played in the Ranji Trophy for Mysore from 1947 to 1956, and also played for South Zone in first-class matches against international touring teams. A few weeks later he top-scored for South Zone against the touring MCC, scoring 69 and 29.

In 1952–53 Adisesh again top-scored for South Zone, this time against the touring Pakistan team, scoring 87. Shortly afterwards, he was selected to tour the West Indies in 1952–53 with the Indian Test team, but was one of several selected players from South Zone who made themselves unavailable in protest at what they believed was a West Zone bias among the selectors. He practised medicine in Liverpool, and died at home there in November 2016, aged 89.
