‘’I am really happy the way Rishab batted in the last Test in England. In fact we never had any doubts about his batting skills. My only concern is about his wicket-keeping,’’ Prasad told PTI during an exclusive interview.

 

‘’Now that he (Pant) has the experience of three Test matches under his belt, he would have understood the areas that he needs to work on.

 

‘’We are also trying to put him under wicket keeping specialist coach for sometime. Along with Rishab we have identified few more upcoming wicket-keepres who need to be trained under a specialist coach. I expect Rishabh to serve Indian cricket for a long time,’’ Prasad said, laying out his plans.

 

‘’Yes, it is definitely a cause of concern. If you look at it whenever we have got that good start we went on to win the Test match. Having said that openers of both the teams struggled in this series due to tough conditions,’’ he said.

 

‘’After playing 160 Tests, a player of Alastair Cook’s calibre has failed throughout the series except the last Test. In his interview, Cook openly said that this was one of the toughest conditions he played in his entire career.

 

‘’So we should be a bit more considerate about our players,’’ he added.

 

‘’Yes I do agree that Mayank Agarwal & Prithvi Shaw have been consistently performing well at domestic and India A levels. They will get their dues.’’

 

‘’Hardik Pandya is an all rounder in the making. He scored a century against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. He batted well against South Africa in the Cape Town Test and performed well both with bat and ball against England in Nottingham. This clearly shows that he can perform in all conditions.

 

‘’Only thing we expect from him is more consistency with both bat & ball. I am sure this tour would have been a big learning experience in his career. He will be a better player with the experience he has gained from this tour,’’ opined Prasad.

Spineless selectors MSK was a failure for India when he played as WK Batsman.

Afraid I see the failures going to the WC next year as they are looking for number 4 and number 6 slot s per Rohit so that means Dhawan,Dhoni,Virat and Rohit are your 4 batsman in England.

DK and Dhoni are going if I go by his view and even if you read Rohit's quote massive failure after 2015 WC when the need of the hour was to build a new team.

can easily play as a specialist bat in ODIs at 5 or 6.

They are looking for Pandey/Jhadav/Rayudu/Raina for that sadly.

He should play as finisher in odis and given a chance with his ability to hit boundaries.This selection committee is filled with bunch of morons who are hell bent on recyling failures like Rayudu.

 

In what world is Rayudu better than Pant.

Serving Biryanis to Dhoni and just recently he developed a winning mentality that can not be matched by others.

I wanted to give this moron MSK a chance but now had enough, he needs to go ASAP. This guy has no vision nor ability to spot talent which is first and foremost requirment for any selector.
