Former Australian Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin responded with a insolent response to Sunil Gavascar after the former Indian big criticized overseas crickets for commenting on Indian cricket affairs. While Gavascar expressed his displeasure among foreign players weighing Indian cricket affairs, Haddin defended them and noted that their close work with Indian players gives them valuable insight.
The debate broke out after Shreyas Iyer was omitted from the Indian decision-making Asia Cup-, which caused an extensive discussion between cricket scientists and fans.
With the Asian Cup serving as a decisive test for India before India, the T20 at home next year was expected to discuss in cricket fraternity. When Shaubman Gill returned to the T20i settings, it was inevitable that someone was missing and the man was Iyer. Haddin, who currently serves as an assistant coach for Pandjab Kings, admitted that he was amazed by the National Captain IPL.
“Our task is to express an opinion on what is topical in the world cricket. That’s what we do. We trained it in IPL, and I stand at my point of view. I was shocked that he wasn’t in the group, and I don’t say other players.
Formerly, Gavaskar kicked to overseas commentatorsThey asked if they had ever seen a former Indian cricket to discuss the team of another team.
The exclusion of Iyera from the Asia Cup Squad surprised much, due to its remarkable performances in the recent IPL and domestic periods. Iyer, front Kings Panjab, enjoyed a sensational season and scored 604 runs in 17 shifts on average 50.33. His explosive 87 out of 41 balls in qualifying 2 against the Indians in Mumbai helped Punjab in their second IPL finals in the history of the tournament. In 2024, Iyer led Kolkata Knight to the IPL title for decades, and in December 2024 he helped his home team Mumbai Mumbai Kloat on Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Madya Pradesh.
