He is not trying but BCCI has sent him there and requested Surrey to give him a chance as they were looking for an overseas pacer.

 

They could have easily sent someone else.  Imagine Deepesh going there.. how huge it must have been for the kid.  Aquib cannot improve beyond this level.  He is pushing 30 already.  Pace is dropping by the month.

Absolute waste.

Not sure BCCI has any role there. Anyone can sign up for any county. There is no limit there. Sai sudarshan, Prithvi shaw. More recently retired Agarwal has signed up.

It was tried a few years back... They reverted back to zonal system 

https://www.cricinfo.com/story/india-domestic-season-2025-26-duleep-trophy-returns-to-zonal-format-1490188

 

Zonal systems allows selectors to play the favourite statpadders from their zone.

 

CZ was playing Patidar, Saransh, Arshad..none of them did anything remotely worth noticing. Yet they all played coz they are part of some of the best cricketing academies owned by some powerful ex cricketers.

But you can still play without help of BCCI.

No BCCI issues NoC I think...  In Auqib's case it was BCCI that went out of its way to get him to play for Surrey

I can't think of denying it to anyone unless it interferes with national schedule. I don't think any bowler like Gurnoor who with practically no experience after starting cricket late had a jump start like this. Part of national team selection, A tours, played ODis already with 0 IPL experience. Guys like Mavi, Tyagi, Nagarkoti nobody was fast tracked.

If Rajat Patidar cannot find a place in zonal team then something is wrong with system. He deserved to play there.

 

 

Pitches in COE have to be examined. They all look the same. 300 was winning score. In past Duleep trophies were won based on first innings lead in some years. You need those wickets for batsmen to learn the art of scoring big runs.

That is the right age to groom a fast bowler. They pick up an injury early anyway. Then they will have enough time to reucperate, come back stronger at the age of 22 or 23. That is how it should be. We cannot introduce bowlers at the age of 29 30 without many overs under belt. They will fall away very rapidly

In 2023 India gave Shivam Mavi a chance and he did reasonably well 7 wickets in 6 matches with an economy under 9 and even nearly won a game with the bat Then they simply dropped him The same thing is happening with Mayank This team has zero continuity with young players

There is nothing out the ways in it, yes bcci helped him to get a contract but not that it has to change any rule on both sides.

 

Getting county contract  has always been reference thing. If your manager or someone from the county tm/team can refer a player they can be picked as lognas they have FC record.

 

Think he is there for 3 games, if he performs then they can give him extended contract next season. Bcci is okay to give nocs for county there has never been any issue with county nocs. as its already in the county contract that they can leave if there is intnl assignment for the player

Mavi was bowling ~125kmph in t20is , Mayank's case if diff they do not want to push him even del-t20 league he was not playing all the games.

Back then Mavi was regularly bowling at 135 138 and was even fitter than he is now But these days he bowls like a 40 year-old

Back then (when he played fr Ind in t20is) as well he was bowling ~125 kmph, he is bowling this pace for a longtime . After his return to ranji he is bowling this pace and got success because this kind of dibbly dobby pace really works at ranji level.

And they can also use this as a "lifetime achievement award" consolation prize.

Arshad could be a hidden gem, he bowls quickish and gets good bounce, also can move the ball, hits the bat hard and is a left hander and and can bat as well. It is a pity our system will not identify and set aside talent like this guy.
