Some players have begun to see themselves as bigger than cricket: Indian veteran’s World Cup triumph assertion.

Delhi: Mohinder Amarnath, former player of the 1983 World Cup winning team, shared his impeccable opinion about Indian cricket. He spoke on many issues, which are the following.

Concern over the rapid end of Test cricket

Amarnath expressed concern over the current situation of Test cricket. He said that the first Test matches used to last five days, but now the match ends in two and a half to three days, which is not right for the audience. He insisted that if the team is strong, then it should play on good pitches, instead of preparing their favorable conditions.

The impact of T20 cricket and change in mindset

Speaking on India’s performance in the ICC World Test Championship, Amarnath said that the impact of T20 cricket is clearly visible on Indian cricket. In small formats, the mentality of the players has become such that they have started focusing on rescue instead of taking wickets. He said that the real purpose of cricket is now becoming entertainment, which can cause harm to Indian cricket in future. He also expressed concern over the ways of the players shots selection and dismissal and said that some players feel that they are bigger than the game, which is not right.

Responsibility for participation in domestic cricket

Amarnath also said a big thing about domestic cricket. He said that if a player cannot play for his state, then it will be a big shortage in the path of his cricket. He clarified that there should be no excuse for professional players and they should play first class cricket. They believe that the game is not bigger than any player and everyone should understand the responsibility towards their team and the country.

Innocent opinion on selectors

Amarnath also expressed his opinion on the selectors of the Indian cricket team. He said that when questions are not raised on any big player, but such people come to the selection committee, who have no major contribution to their own, then the question is bound to arise.
