Manoj Tiwary Slams India For Not Picking Aakash Deep: Former cricketer Manoj Tiwary slammed Team India for not including seamer Akash Deep in the playing XI of the first Test against New Zealand. In the match, India suffered a humiliating 8-wicket loss against the visitors.
The pitch in the India vs New Zealand first innings extensively supported pace bowlers over the spinners. New Zealand seamers destroyed India by taking a whopping 17 wickets out of 20 which led the hosts to get all out for 46 in their first innings, their lowest Test score at home.
Akash Deep, who was terrific in the Test series against Bangladesh, which India had won with a whitewash, surprisingly couldn’t find his place in the Test series against Bangladesh.
As he was expected to get picked for the New Zealand Test, his exclusion would negatively impact his confidence, according to Manoj Tiwary. He was talking to Cricbuzz after the match.
India will play the second Test against New Zealand on October 24 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.
