“Shubman Gill Will Definitely…”: Ex-Chief Selector On India vs Pakistan World Cup Clash | Cricket News

[ad_1] Only a day remains before high-profile India vs Pakistan contest begins in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, but there still remains a sense of mystery over the status of Shubman Gill's availability.

“Who Is The 3D Player…”: Ex-BCCI Chief Selector MSK Prasad Brutally Trolled After he Names India’s Potential 15-Man World Cup Squad | Cricket News

[ad_1] File image of former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad© AFPSome quotes don't really age well. Former India wicketkeeper MSK Prasad and chief selector MSK Prasad must know. It all started with the selection of allrounder Vijay Shankar in the 2019 World Cup squad. The then chief selector MSK Prasad had said then that he was a three-dimensional player and hence was picked up in the squad. Later, however, after Shankar had a forgettable World Cup campaign which ended with an injury, he was mercilessly trolled with the '3D' reference.When Shankar was selected for the World Cup, the Indian team was desperate for a solid No. 4 batter. Rayudu was primed for the slot but he was not picked surprisingly. He also took a jibe at MSK's comment in a tweet which read: "Just Ordered a new set of 3d g...

[ad_1] File image of former Indian Cricket team coach Ravi Shastri© AFPThere is much intrigue regarding Indian cricket team's Asia Cup 2023 squad.

This was the topic of discussion recently between former BCCI chief selectors Sandeep Patil (2012-16) and MSK Prasad (2016-2020) along with former India coach Ravi Shastri.Patil chose Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal as the three spinners.

On India’s ODI World Cup Squad, Ex-Chief Selector’s Bold Suryakumar Yadav Claim | Cricket News

[ad_1] Suryakumar Yadav hasn't done justice to his game in ODI cricketThere remains a big debate over Suryakumar Yadav's place in the Indian ODI team. The batter is widely considered No. 1 in the T20I format but he is some distance away from realising his potential in the 50-over format. Though the Indian team remains buoyant over the long-term plans involving Suryakumar as India's No. 4 batter, the Mumbai Indians star still needs to fire and replay the faith shown in him by the team. As the clock for the ODI World Cup squad selection keeping ticking, former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector MSK Prasad feels Surya will definitely be a part f the mega event."I am 100 percent sure that Suryakumar will go to the World Cup.

‘Shouldn’t Pick XI Like…’: MSK Prasad Warns India Against Repeating 2021 Mistake | Cricket News

[ad_1] India should not pick the playing XI for the World Test Championship final with a pre-determined mindset like they did two years ago, says former chief selector MSK Prasad, who feels it would be very tough to fill the injured Rishabh Pant's shoes as his overseas feats are unparalleled. India's move to pick two spinners -- Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja -- in the 2021 WTC final against New Zealand backfired as pacers dominated the game in overcast conditions at Southampton.Spin could play a role in the final against Australia at The Oval in London from June 7 but Prasad advised the team to take the final call depending on the conditions at that time."We went with two spinners and three fast bowlers in the mind but subsequently there was rain, we should have changed our pla...
