“I frequently discuss what new excuse they will be concocting now. There are no excuses in cricket. Irrespective of the pitch or conditions you are encountering, you are obligated to play. In a team where there’s no middle-order batter who can rotate the strike, how can you anticipate that team to win the World Cup? This team failed to score 40 runs, despite having eight batters. First, ascertain what you possess. You neither have proficient batters nor adept bowlers, nothing,” he added.

You know you can’t execute the aerial shots required in modern-day cricket. You will get out. You should toil in domestic cricket now,” he urged.
