India lacking a fast bowler for T20 World Cup, says MSK Prasad. Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: India is a fast bowler moving in t20 world cup This month, the former chairman of selectors feels MSK Prasad, who is also a little worried about the all-rounder Hardik Pandya Not bowling in the current IPL.
The T20 World Cup is starting from October 17 in the United Arab Emirates and Oman, in which India are the strong contenders to win the title.
Prasad told PTI, “It is a good team but I think they are really less of a fast bowler… in the interview.
The 46-year-old explained, “If we had played more matches in Sharjah, it was fine, but there could have been a fast bowler (there) and more importantly, if Hardik doesn’t bowl, I think it will be a bit cause for concern.”
Virat Kohli-led India will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on October 24.
While the Sharjah pitches have helped the spinners, the Dubai and Abu Dhabi pitches are helping the fast bowlers as seen in the IPL.
Baroda all-rounder Pandya, a key member of the team, is not bowling for five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians in the ongoing UAE leg of the cash-rich league. The franchise has repeatedly stated that it does not want to push him too much considering his importance to the Indian team.
When asked about his opinion on the situation, Prasad said, “Look, Hardik has been picked as an all-rounder and not a batsman, he is seen as an all-rounder, which will add to the What you call balance.
He said in surprise, “… (it is) a bit surprising that, or I don’t know if he is being instructed not to bowl or he is being protected to bowl only in the World Cup.” ”
“We don’t really know, but in an ideal scenario, with Hardik being picked as an all-rounder, I would love to see him bowl.
“I don’t know exactly what the thought process is because the selectors should know that, or the board should know that, but Hardik, if he doesn’t bowl then there will be very little, I mean, a little bit of the balance of the team. Will happen,” said Prasad, who played 6 Tests and 17 ODIs.
The former India wicketkeeper also backed Kohli’s decision to step down as T20 captain after the World Cup.
When asked about Virat’s decision, Prasad said, “..He has taken the pressure of captaincy in all formats, which is clearly visible on his individual performance right now. So, I think (it) is a Must be the right decision.” Will help the batsman in that.
The 96 veteran earlier said, “We need a man who can score 70 centuries in a span of a decade, we would like to see the same Virat. If T20 captaincy is affecting batting, then it is the right decision.” class match.
main spinner Yuzvendra Chahali He could not make it to the World T20 squad and Prasad said the Chetan Sharma-led selection committee may have taken the decision on his recent indifferent form.
“Instead of talking about why he (Chahal) was not included, I will definitely say why he was dropped instead of expressing my opinion,” he said.
“Maybe the selectors would have gone with his form in mind, unfortunately he was not among the wickets in the last few months.
Prasad said, “He must have seen that form and now that he is back, it is a difficult situation but Chahal has been our premier T20 bowler, he is the highest wicket-taker for India in the T20 format. bowlers.”
