NEW DELHI: India’s beating between the ages of 7 and 15 is a legitimate area of concern is what emerges from BCCI‘S Review of Asian Cup meet on the eve of the all-important ICC T20 World Cup starting October 16.
India’s first match in the showcase event was in Melbourne against arch-rivals Pakistan on October 23.
On Monday, BCCI announced the team for the marquee event alongside the T20I’s six matches against Australia and South Africa, starting September 20.
However, in addition to selecting the lineup, the president of BCCI Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah along with the national selection committee discussed the national team’s poor performance in the continental championship.
“Yes Asian Cup performance was discussed. But obviously, aside from the problems, the focus is on solutions and where are the things that need to be improved in the T20 World Cup,” a senior BCCI official on developments told PTI on condition of anonymity.
Despite some issues, all agree that India’s approach to hitting the ball in midfield is becoming a problem for the better teams and a problem at the Asian Cup. .
“There was a clear problem with hitting the ball in the mid-field, especially from Saturday to 15th where we didn’t do well in the Asian Cup. Apparently, the team’s consulting department. aware and we have some world class players who can obviously change their game according to the needs of the team,” the official said.
If one looks at Indian batting, whether aiming or chasing, they falter between 7th and 15th.
Against Pakistan in the opening game, 59 runs were scored in nine defeats three times losing the ball. Against Hong Kong it was 62 runs, while in Super 4s against Pakistan it was 62 points.
The best record (except for Afghanistan) was against Sri Lanka with 78 attempts in those nine passes.
The problem lies in negotiating slow players, where some of the top players have yet to hit the mark.
Samson’s name not discussed for WT20
Prior to the selection of the Indian team, there were many rumors that Sanju Samson could be included in the 15-member squad instead. Rishabh Pant but it was learned that the Rajasthan Royals captain didn’t even dispute it.
