Asked about the omission of Thakur, he said it wasn’t a challenge to players they could comment on. “I can’t say that, because it’s a selector’s decision and board of directors. So we can’t say anything about it. But I can’t say anything about it, because it’s not in my hands,” said the MCA Sharad Museum inauguration at the WankHede Stadium. However, the All-Rounder Mumbai supported Iyer to bounce heavily. “There will be controversies, but as a player you have to be strong. And Shreyas is also very strong. Whenever he plays in the upcoming matches, I’m sure he will give a very good performance,” Thakur added. On the Indian campaign at Asia Cup, which begins September 9, Thakur emphasized the importance of the tournament at the beginning of the World Cup. “India-Pakistan is always a big match for crickets and for the country. And the Asian Cup is such a big tournament that the cricket is of great importance in life. We see that this tournament is playing before the World Cup. Thakur also described the inauguration of the MCA museum as a landmark for cricket in Mumbai and said it inspired future generations.
