NEW DELHI: Delhi head coach Abhay Sharma‘s days could possibly be numbered because the Cricket Advisory Committee led by Nikhil Chopra, Gursharan Singh and Reema Malhotra are set to sack the previous Railways skipper for the group’s non-performance within the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
Delhi have two factors from 4 video games and are in peril of ending final within the group.
Abhay’s choices have come beneath the scanner and not one of the high brass are pleased with him.
“After the selection committee being handed pink slip, Abhay can’t escape the axe as he is equally responsible for this debacle. Selectors have selected the squad but what kind of XI is being chosen by him,” a senior DDCA director instructed PTI on situation of anonymity.
Abhay had pipped former India off-spinner Sarandeep Singh to the top coach’s publish and plenty of in DDCA imagine it was a mistaken choice.
“Bring a stop-gap coach and then take it from thereon,” the director mentioned.
Khoda damage at not being given likelihood to defend himself
Unceremoniously dumped by Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) from the publish of chief selector, a damage Gagan Khoda on Friday mentioned that he was baffled after not being given a chance to clarify his viewpoint on Delhi’s debacle within the ongoing Ranji Trophy.
Khoda, together with fellow selectors Mayank Sidhana and Anil Bhardwaj, had been sacked by the DDCA’s Cricket Advisory Committee after a stinker from president Rohan Jaitley.
“I really don’t need any money from DDCA. I am an outsider and I didn’t know any academies or camps or how cricket is run in Delhi. I genuinely wanted to make a difference. But I wasn’t even given a chance to explain myself,” a peeved Khoda, who was a nationwide selector until the beginning of 2021, instructed PTI.
“I was appointed less than a week before Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. How do I get to see the players and build a team? Is that also my fault that I was appointed one month after I applied?”
DDCA president Rohan Jaitley, in his e-mail to the Apex Council, was particular about his points with choice committee.
Did you folks change an injured participant with an injured participant? Jaitley requested in his electronic mail.
Khoda replied: “Look, I am neither a physio nor a doctor. I will go by what physio told me. The so-called injured replacement that is being spoken about was declared fit to play by the physio in an email to the selection committee. Now, if the player goes on tour and then says I am unfit, am I to be blamed for that.”
While no names had been taken by Khoda, it’s believed that Simarjeet Singh, one of many extra constant bowlers for Delhi, was allegedly anxious about his workload and presumably did not need to injure himself earlier than IPL the place he’s more likely to play an element for CSK.
On allegations that he does not watch U-25 trials, Khoda, in his defence, mentioned: “During the first U-25 trials, I was with the senior team in Guwahati for the Assam game. Before the second game, I was unwell and had told Anil Bhardwaj that he and Sidhana should watch the game.”
On Sidhana’s allegations of backing Vikas Solanki, he turned livid, “I just don’t want to take his name and talk about the kind of players he recommended. And for Solanki, he scored 100 in the trial game and 162 in DDCA Challenger Trophy.”
On U-25 coach Pankaj Singh not being allowed to attend bodily assembly, Khoda cited his time as nationwide selector.
“During my time as national selector, either it was MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli who came for a meeting. During our last phase, Rohit (Sharma) came for a few. But never ever did I see Ravi (former head coach Shastri) attending any meeting.”
