IND vs SA Test: Former India Bowler Criticizes Rohit and Dravid’s Decision to Select Prasidh Krishna

Former India Bowler Criticizes Rohit and Dravid’s Decision to Select Prasidh Krishna: Everyone knows IND vs SA, Boxing DayTest is Prasidh Krishna’s test debut in red ball cricket. Due to less experience, he lacked the basic discipline of test match bowling.

If we see 1st test against South Africa that was held on December 28, Thursday, in Centurion, Prasidh Krishna is the main reason why India couldn’t put much pressure on South African batters when Jasprit and Siraj were taken off the attack.

‘Poor kid isn’t ready for Test cricket’: Ex-India Bowler

Present for the second test match against South Africa in Cape Town, the fact is that India hurriedly called for Avesh Khan for the squad to replace Prasidh Khan.

Rohit Sharma also said that they would send back the young right-arm pacer after seeing the humiliating loss against South Africa in 1st test held in Centurion.

Avesh Khan is presently playing the second unofficial match in Cape Town. A former India bowler who doesn’t want to take out his name said that,

“Poor Prasidh… The kid isn’t ready for Test cricket. He doesn’t have the skills to bowl second and third spells yet. They went with him based on his ability to hit the deck. But they forgot when he last played a proper season of the Ranji Trophy. Just one India A game isn’t enough.”

He also said that even Avesh’s inclusion doesn’t make much difference unless he has given a long rope.

“The problem is India’s next generation of pacers don’t evoke the same kind of excitement and confidence that Bumrah, Shami, Ishant and Siraj produced.

“Avesh is the same type of bowler as Prasidh but plays red-ball cricket more regularly. So he might hit better lengths. Navdeep Saini has still playing India A for six years. That tells you the story,” Bowler added.
