For him, it was recognition that he wanted most desperately. "It's a televised event. If I get to play, then my efforts will be noticed. Ranji performances don't reach a wide audience," said a relieved Awana. The 25-year-old, surging to become Delhi's premier seamer with 47 wickets so far this season, had his reasons to be disappointed for not being approached by any of the franchisee for the last four editions. He was close to a contract when the Kolkata Knight Riders had taken him to Sri Lanka for practice outings last year only to deny him just ahead of the tournament. Then being called to the Mumbai Indians camp and not being offered a contract only added to his frustration. "There are players in the league who didn't have great domestic seasons. Despite doing well this year, it was getting frustrating for me," conceded Awana. Now that he has got into the schemes of KXIP, Awana hopes to encash his experience of being on the fringes of the IPL teams. "I had learnt a lot from Shaun Pollock while training with the Mumbai Indians. I worked a lot on my variations and bowling the yorkers. Hope I can execute them on the field." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl-2012/news/Parvinder-Awana-gets-IPL-break-joins-Kings-XI-Punjab/articleshow/12116530.cms
Ram Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 It could be that the Clowns XI Punjab are probably the worst team in all of professional sporting history. They didnt come close to winning the previous time, they wont do it this time either.
