Former Indian cricketer R Ashwin has given his take on the criticism players like Harshit Rana have received. Harshit has been subjected to plenty of criticism of late after his inclusion in the squad for the white-ball series against Australia.
Ashwin also provided his opinion on why Harshit Rana was selected in both the the white-ball squads.
“Why they are selecting him, I am not sure. I would love to be in the selection meeting to know the reason behind his inclusion. From my side, the reason I see is – In Australia we need that fast bowler who can bat. Someone trusts that he can bat, which is why they are selecting him as a potential No. 8,” stated Ashwin in a video on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin made it clear that criticism should be always done on the basis of performances and must not turn into a personal war. He also reflected on how Sanjay Manjrekar used to criticise him constantly during his playing days.
