Bensiyon Morisbhai Songavkar is an Indian professional cricketer who has represented Saurashtra.[1] He lives in Rajkot, India, and is Jewish.[2][3]

Playing career

In 2008, Songavkar was included in a special Israel squad that played against India in a special match in honour of Israel's 60th anniversary. Songavkar was a suggested inclusion by then BCCI secretary general, Niranjan Shah, after the Israel Cricket Association requested names of Jewish cricketers in India.[4]

A year later, Songavkar played for Team India which won a silver medal as he was selected player of the tournament for cricket at the 2009 Maccabiah Games in Israel.[5][6] He was Captain of Team India in cricket at the 2017 Maccabiah Games.[7]
