EMACIATED CRICKETING TALENT IN INDIA

How many nations in the world can afford to waste talent like India does because India is having Copious talent in all the segments. Not many people can dissent the fact that BCCI failed to make this into a profitable account. Although we won World Cup recently, secured No.1 Position in Tests, we need to make sure that the talent not getting wasted to ensure the continuity of hegemony in world Cricket on the field.

A brief look at the history would surely deliver some intriguing facts. Sunil Walson, not many people known was a member of 1983 World Cup squad. He did not play a single match before,during and after the world cup. There is no Justification for this ruthless act till date. Laxman Sivarama Krishna, popularly known as a renowned Commentator represented India for 2-3 years and was later expunged for no reason.

Atul Wassan, Vivek Razdan, Salil Ankola, Abey Kuruvilla, T.Kumaran, Debashih mohanty, these are the names of bowlers who  played for India and then lost their way. Who says India don't have potential to produce fast bowlers. They produced, but they failed to nurture them, preserve them from injuries and cricket board didn't give enough opportunities as well and dropped them after one or two failure.

David Johnson, very few cricket lovers do remembered him. He was the India's fastest bowler once and he used to bowl with round arm slinga action much like lasith malinga. He played a few games in 90's but later on labeled as a throw bowler and thrown out of cricket. Cricket administrators didn't even fought for him.

Praveen Amre, disciple of Ramakant archerekar made a dream debut against southafrica where he hit a century. After one failure he was faded away. Do we really miss a SACHIN like batsman???? Mukundh Paramar, yere Gaud were known as run machines of their respective times but never make it to the Indian team. Akash Chopra, Irfan Pathan, Robin Uthappa and the list goes on....

Indian Cricket was never short of talent and will not going to have any paucity in nearby future as well. But we dont have a proper system to Preserve this gem of talents. Our Cricket Board shows more propensity towards money and Selectors are biased to the players of their respective zones. Take an example of Anirudha Srikanth, he hadnt performed well in either Ranjis or IPL, yet he is selected to Emerging Players tourney Because he does have a God Father in the selction committee.

We have many more talents in the likes of C Pujara, A Rahane, V Aron, Ashok Menaria, D Kulkarni, Abhishek Nayar and the list continues. So it is true that India have talent in abundance and its the time to utilize it properly so that we can consistently get players like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavasakar, Zaheer Khan etc.,
