Ignored by BCCI, Agarkar told to pick 'special, talented fast bowler' for BGT: 'Could've been there for BAN Tests'

Agarkar suggests BCCI should have considered him for Bangladesh Tests

Former India pacer Ajit Agarkar has expressed his disappointment at being ignored by the BCCI for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

Agarkar, who is currently the bowling coach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians, said he had hoped to be considered for the Bangladesh Tests, which India won 2-0.

Agarkar stresses the need for a 'special' fast bowler

Agarkar also stressed the need for India to identify a "special, talented fast bowler" who can make a difference in the BGT against Australia.

He said such a bowler could have been included in the squad for the Bangladesh Tests to gain valuable experience ahead of the crucial series against Australia.

Agarkar credits Bangladesh for their improved performance

Agarkar also praised Bangladesh for their improved performance in recent years, saying they are no longer a pushover and can challenge even the top teams.

He said India's 2-0 win in Bangladesh was a good result, but the team still has areas to improve before the BGT against Australia.

Conclusion

Agarkar's comments highlight the competitive nature of international cricket and the importance of having a strong pool of fast bowlers.

With the BGT against Australia just around the corner, India will need to find a way to address their bowling concerns and identify a fast bowler who can make a significant impact.
