Manish Pandey was not selected in Karnataka’s squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
In Indian domestic cricket, where the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ended just a few days ago and was won by Mumbai, now the 50 over Vijay Hazare tournament will start from December 21. All cricket associations have announced their respective squads regarding this. In this, a shocking decision has been seen from the Karnataka team management, in which their most important player and former captain Manish Pandey did not get a place. The biggest reason behind this decision is that Karnataka management is now trying to give opportunities to new players in place of old players so that a strong team can be prepared for the future.
Did not bat even in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
The biggest reason behind Manish Pandey’s ouster is his continued poor form in which he scored only 117 runs with the bat while playing 5 matches in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In this tournament, Karnataka team could not even succeed in progressing beyond the group stage, in which they remained at number position in the group of 8 teams. Now their intentions have been made clear by the Karnataka Cricket Association, in which KSCA Selection Committee Chairman G Abhiram said in his statement to ESPN Cricinfo that we have realized that now we need to move beyond the old players and look for new players. Should be given a chance. We cannot move forward by continuously looking at past performance. When we lost last time it was a young team from Karnataka and we want to give a chance to the youth again.
