Robin Singh on Mumbai Indians: ‘You Don’t Win Five Times by Accident’

Image
PC: Mumbai Indians Robin Singh has worked across Indian and UAE cricket, including a long stint with Mumbai Indians. He is currently the director of Royal Desert Champions, a franchise in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. In a conversation with Sudisha Sinha of RevSportz, Singh spoke about the demands of T10 cricket, squad selection, the lessons he has taken from Mumbai Indians, coaching and the development of UAE cricket. Q. As a cricketer, how do you perceive T10 as a format, and how is it different from other formats? Robin Singh: T10 is a little more familiar. It’s a tournament that started a few years ago. But it’s a pretty fast format. It’s almost like, what do I say, it’s like a fast-forward version of T20. So, one has to be pretty good in terms of execution. Skills are very important. Q. How do you see India adopting or perceiving this particular format? What impact do you think it would have if the format were adopted in India? Robin Singh: It’s like Test cricket. From Test cr...

Sunil Gavaskar suggests division system for International Cricket

Image
Sunil Gavaskar (PC: BCCI) Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has suggested introducing divisions in international cricket to ensure records are judged according to the level of competition. Gavaskar raised concerns over the growing gap between teams after Mongolia were bowled out for just 13 runs while chasing 193 against Thailand in the men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Asia Qualifier A. Writing in his Mid-Day column, Gavaskar questioned whether performances against weaker teams should be treated equally. “When a team is dismissed for such paltry scores, the bowler’s stats can only be bettered when the emerging ICC Associate member countries play against each other,” Gavaskar wrote. “To equate it with the stats when full-member country teams play against each other is simply not fair.” He suggested that cricket could follow football’s promotion and relegation system where the teams compete in different divisions based on their performances. “Maybe something similar should be thou...

India Sweat Over Pant’s Fitness Ahead of New Zealand Tests

Image
Rishabh_Pant (PC: BCCI) India’s Test regular Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the two of the three-match unofficial Test series between India A and New Zealand A. In-form Kumar Kushagra has been called up as his replacement. The uncapped cricketer will be available for selection for the first two matches. When the India A squad was announced, an asterisk was placed next to Pant’s name, as his participation in the series was subject to fitness clearance following a left-sided strain sustained during the Irani Cup. After receiving his fitness report, the selectors decided to replace him. Pant’s availability for the third match will be assessed at a later date. With Pant ruled out, India A captain Dhruv Jurel is likely to take over wicketkeeping duties. The three-match series will begin on 24 October in Lincoln, followed by the second match in Christchurch on 31 October and the final game back in Lincoln on 7 November. India A’s updated squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt P...

NZ vs IND: Surprise Picks on the Cards, India A Performers in the ODI Selection Mix


Image
  Images :X Vaibhav Tripathi A picture of the selectors meeting BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, with VVS Laxman, head of the Centre of Excellence, also present, made the rounds on social media and elsewhere. They met and picked the T20I squad for the New Zealand tour. Contrary to expectations, the ODI squad was not announced. The question was why there had been a delay and, as reported, the selectors wanted to wait for the India A vs Australia A unofficial ODI series to conclude before finalising the squad. Now that the series is done and dusted, with India A winning it, the selection committee will most likely announce the ODI squad for the New Zealand tour in the coming month. There could be some surprises in the squad, given the short turnaround time between the ODI and Test series. One of the selectors was in Puducherry for the India A unofficial ODIs. Here, we look at the players who could be called up for the five-match ODI series against New Zealand. Suryansh Shedge Th...
