Get the Twenty20 player data given the profile of the batsman/bowler. The allowed inputs are home,away, neutralboth and won,lost,tied or no result of matches. The data is stored in a <player>.csv file in a directory specified. This function also returns a data frame of the player

1	getPlayerDataTT(profile, dir = "./data", file = "player001.csv", type = "batting", homeOrAway = c(1, 2, 3), result = c(1, 2, 3,5))

This will display the details of the player. Make a note of the profile ID. For e.g For Virat Kohli this turns out to be 253802 http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/35263.html. Hence the profile for Sehwag is 35263
