Career in India
Lashkari was born into a prominent textile family in Ahmedabad, India.[1] He made his first-class debut for Gujarat at the age of 17, playing against Maharashtra in the 1951–52 Ranji Trophy. He played another three Ranji Trophy matches the following season, scoring half-centuries against Baroda and Maharashtra, and was also selected to play for West Zone against the touring Pakistanis. During the 1953–54 season, Lashkari was twice selected for an All-India team against the touring Commonwealth XI side, with both teams including several Test players in their line-ups.[2] In the first of those matches, he finished as the Indian XI's leading run-scorer for the match and made a first-class career-high 55 runs in the second innings, batting alongside Madhav Apte, Datta Gaekwad, Syed Mushtaq Ali, Vijay Manjrekar, and Gulabrai Ramchand.[3] Lashkari's first-class career ended at the age of 21, after the 1955–56 season.[2]
