“Where is Avesh Khan after all….”- Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra raised questions on Indian management

But then he did not get a place in the squad for both the white-ball series of the Sri Lanka tour. Meanwhile, former Indian player Aakash Chopra is venting his anger on the Indian management. Chopra says that if BCCI wants to invest in Avesh Khan, then they will have to give him opportunities. Avesh should have been on the Sri Lanka tour- Aakash Chopra Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, said, This is a good question because the team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that? If we want to invest in him then Avesh Khan should have been there. He should have been there on the Sri Lanka tour and should have played matches in Zimbabwe as well, where was he – nowhere to be seen. Prasidh Krishna has the potential to become a good bowler- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra has expressed his desire to see fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the T20 format. He also stressed that even though Prasidh Krishna is an expensive bowler, he has the potential to become a great bowler in the T20 format. Let us tell you that Prasidh Krishna was part of the Indian squad in the ODI World Cup 2023. After the tournament, he played a few more matches for India. But he got injured while playing for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. No information has been revealed about when Prasidh Krishna will be able to return. I personally rate Prasidh Krishna very highly, although his stats in T20s are not very good. He has taken a beating whenever he has played, but I would like to invest. He has the potential to become a very good bowler even at the highest level. So they should start investing in him right now and have a clear roadmap for Avesh Khan as well.
