You can't ignore Gambhir and Sehwag: More
CRICKET: Former Indian Chief selector, Kiran More, has backed the discarded pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, despite of being aware of the fact that Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have been doing a sensational job these days.
Competition is a healthy sign for Indian cricket. There is a good healthy competition going on. Whoever performs will be in the team. If somebody is unfit then Gambhir or Sehwag, or Zaheer Khan can walk in. You need experience also when you go on tough tours. Overall it is looking good and you can fall back on some of the players,” More said in a statement released.
“They (Sehwag and Gambhir) have to keep performing in domestic cricket. They need to have the belief. It is a healthy competition. All these players who are playing at the moment could also have a bad phase and some of these guys can come into the team then.
“When you look at the balance of the team, Rohit as an opener is doing well for the team. The selectors, coach and captain gave him the opportunity and he grabbed it. His experience is helping him. Definitely he is a class player. He is doing well.
“Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are also good fielders. They have put up good partnerships. But you need to look at one more option if something happens to Rohit or Shikhar. So even Sehwag or Gambhir can come in the team, if they get the opportunity,” he added.
“We need good fast bowlers. Most of the fast bowlers have major injuries. To come back and get into the team is not so easy. Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are bowling very well. We need to look at a few more options in the fast bowling department. The Indian team is lacking a little bit in that area,” More stated, talking on the fast-bowlers.
