Spots: In Indian cricket, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy ended a few days ago with Mumbai winning the title and now the 50-over Vijay Hazare tournament is starting from December 21. In this regard, all the cricket associations have announced their respective teams. Meanwhile, Karnataka team management took a shocking decision and their key player and former captain Manish Pandey was declared ineligible to play. The main reason behind this decision is that Karnataka management is now trying to replace the old players with new players so that they can prepare a strong team for the future.
The main reason for Manish Pandey's dismissal was his continued poor form as he scored just 117 runs with the bat in five matches in the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In this tournament, Karnataka team could not even progress beyond the group stage and its position in the group of eight teams remained intact. Their intentions have been made clear by the Karnataka State Cricket Association and the KSCA selection committee chairman admitted in a statement to ESPN Cricinfo that we now have to look at the old players and look for new players. I was given a chance. You can't progress if you keep looking at past successes. Last time we lost to the Karnataka youth team, so we want to give another chance to the young team.
