The truth and the fact is that very players actually get selected after 1/2 good season. When a youngster comes through and does well in domestic cricket, there are normally guys who have been doing well before him and they too deserve to be given opportunities. We are compla-

ining now about youngsters leaving our system because the older guys are being looked at but we would still complain if the older guys were being ignored and were the ones leaving. There’s always a pecking order and the pecking order is per performance not talent. They don’t say,

“This is one the most talented so he must come in next”. Guys like your Kgs, ABs etc getting opportunities early in their careers is not an everyday thing tbh. Can’t make everyone happy to be honest.

The WE on this thread applies to me also.

Players with a second option will always be reluctant to wait for their turn because there are no guarantees
