India Selectors Picked Full-strength Squad For Afghanistan Out Of Fear: Kris Srikkanth
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth believes the upcoming T20I series against Afghanistan should have been used to expand Indias pool of young players rather than rely on established names, arguing that recent defeats may have influenced the selectors to prioritise results over experimentation. India are scheduled to face Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series in Delhi from September 13, with the squad also set to form the core of the team for the Asian Games in Japan later this month. The selection has brought Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar back into the mix despite questions surrounding their match fitness. For Srikkanth, the bigger concern is not the quality of the players picked but what their selection indicates about Indias approach to a series that could have offered opportunities to youngsters. After the series losses in Ireland and England, the selectors have decided not to take a chance and picked a full-strength squad for Afghanistan. They are going all guns blazing, but this is a mistake. Its against teams like Afghanistan that you should try out youngsters. Instead, youve picked a full-strength squad out of fear, Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. Indias recent T20I results appear to have shaped that thinking. The side endured a difficult overseas stretch under Shreyas Iyer, losing all six completed matches in Ireland and England. A second-string Indian team subsequently responded with a 3-0 series sweep of Zimbabwe in July. Srikkanth feels the response to those setbacks has been excessive, with the Afghanistan squad resembling the group selected for the England assignment. It feels like a desperation move after the Ireland and England losses. But this squad is almost the same as the one they picked for England. The former captain also turned his attention to the fitness status of four returning players. Rather than questioning their credentials, he argued that competitive readiness cannot be established solely through training at the Bengaluru Centre of Excellence. These four have not proved match-fitness. So on what basis are they subject to fitness? Just because you prove your fitness at the Bengaluru CoE, are you fit? Thats how Harshit Rana went to England, and then what happened to him there? So match-fitness is important, opined Srikkanth. The former captain also turned his attention to the fitness status of four returning players. Rather than questioning their credentials, he argued that competitive readiness cannot be established solely through training at the Bengaluru Centre of Excellence. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories This is not a question of ability. Harshit Rana has proved to be a very good bowler in T20s, and Nitish Kumar Reddy is brilliant in the short format. But why pick them without match-fitness being proven is the question, Srikkanth said. Article Source: IANS

Mandhana's Record-breaking Feats A Result Of 'relentless Discipline', Says RCB Coach Rangarajan
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana becoming the leading run-scorer and century hitter in women's international cricket is the direct result of her relentless discipline and unwavering standards, said Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Malolan Rangarajan on Friday. While playing a knock of 124 in the Womens Asia Cup game against Hong Kong China at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Smriti surpassed former national captain Mithali Raj's career mark of 10,868 runs across all formats to become the leading run-getter in womens international cricket. She also went past Meg Lanning for the record for the most centuries hit in women's international cricket. Smriti, 30, also leads RCB in the Women's Premier League (WPL), having captained the franchise to two titles while scoring 1,023 runs in 35 innings. What stands out about Smriti isnt just the runs - its the sheer consistency of showing up, series after series, at the very top of her game for so many years. Ive watched her understanding of the sport deepen year on year; shes never stood still as a batter or as a leader. Reaching this milestone doesnt happen by accident - its the product of relentless discipline and the standards she holds herself to, day in and day out. Rangarajan said in a statement by the franchise. Teammates echoed Rangarajan's sentiment, pointing to Smriti's leadership and preparation as key factors behind her record-breaking achievement. Smriti has always been someone you can look up to, both as a player and as a captain. The way she prepares, the way she handles pressure and the confidence she gives everyone around her makes such a difference to the team. This record is a huge achievement, but for us, it is also a reflection of the person and leader we get to have in our dressing room, said Indias seam-bowling all-rounder Arundhati Reddy. Teammates echoed Rangarajan's sentiment, pointing to Smriti's leadership and preparation as key factors behind her record-breaking achievement. Smriti has always been someone you can look up to, both as a player and as a captain.

Asian Games: SAI's 'container simulator' readies athletes for unusual stay
The beds are a little over six feet long, the walls are close, and there is little room for anything beyond the essentials. For some of India's athletes, however, spending a night inside a shipping container at the Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports (NSNIS) here is less about discomfort and more about preparation for an unusual living arrangement awaiting them in Japan at the Asian Games. With the Aichi-Nagoya Games beginning September 19 and no conventional athletes' village this time, Sports Authority of India (SAI) has set up makeshift container rooms at its centres in Patiala and Bengaluru to give its athletes a taste of what they can expect in Japan. The idea is to make the unfamiliar familiar. Athletes are taking turns to spend a night inside the container, waking up the next morning and following their usual routine before heading to training. By the time they reach Japan, the hope is that their accommodation will no longer be a distraction. Two years ago, when it
