Cricket talent

By our correspondents

The PSL matches have revealed the abundance of cricketing talent in our country. I was surprised why this talent was not tapped and used in the recently-concluded matches in New Zealand.

India has risen to the top ranking in the T20 format due to the outstanding performance of spinners such as Ashwin and Jadeja against Australia. But the Pakistani squad had included a single specialist spinner during the series with New Zealand. And why did we have to depend on four seamers when all international teams have one or two regular spinners. The same was the case with our batting. We need a lot of work in talent hunting to regain our lost glory in cricket.
