BCCI Selection Chief Krishnamachari Srikkanth favours his son for Emerging Players Tournament
Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the head of the selection panel of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has allegedly given an undue favour to his son, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s squad for the upcoming Emerging Players Tournament
(ETP) that is set to start from 1 August, 2011 in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Critics are of the view that the selection committee has overlooked and sidestepped many talented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Young-c98322 players for the sake of their head’s son, who has been a pathetic and, out-of-form cricketer, throughout his career.
Taking a look at Anirudha’s career, it is evident that he has very dismal averages in all formats of the game. He has scored just 251 in his 9 innings of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy.
His T20 average with the Chennai Super Kings team of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been pathetic while his First-Class stats are heart-rending.
The 24-year old opener has 23 First-Class, 46 List A and 40 T20 games to his credit but his highest average has been 32.31 so far.
However, he has played for various domestic teams, such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamil-Nadu-c853 Under-19s.
Some analysts argue that the nepotism and biasness have been deeply immersed in the cricket management ranks of India and this trend is bound to spoil the standard of the game in the country.
They opine that the selectors for the domestic teams often give favours to their cronies at the expense of talented players, who cannot excel for not having links, and, references.
India’s finalised squad for the ETP include, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744, S
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harishachar-Vinay-Kumar-c61519.
The tournament contains four teams concerning http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, and, India.
Unlike in the past, the format of the tournament has been changed with the inclusion of 3-day games. Earlier, the event was based on T20 and 50-over matches.
All the four teams will have to pass through the special round of 3-day games before the ultimate winner of the tournament is determined.
