"You can't make a statistician a selector" - Aakash Chopra on India’s Gurnoor Brar and Harsh Dubey debuts ...Middle East

News by : (cricketaddictor) -

Brar made his debut in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Dharamsala on Saturday, June 13. He impressed with figures of 3/27 in 4.5 overs as Afghanistan were bowled out for 194 in 24.5 overs. In reply, Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 84 off 66 balls as India secured victory in the rain-shortened 25-over contest.

"All of us were assuming that Prince would play, and when the match was reduced to 25 overs, it's very close to the T20 format, and Gurnoor Brar hadn't come after playing T20s just now, we started thinking that Prince would definitely play."

Before his debut, Gurnoor had played only 10 List A matches, claiming 15 wickets with best figures of 4/57. He is expected to feature again when India face Afghanistan in the second ODI in Lucknow on June 17.

You are looking beyond the numbers because if only numbers are required, you can make a statistician a selector. They wanted pace and bounce, and both those things were seen in his game," he added.

"Harsh Dubey has picked up a lot of wickets in First-class cricket and has performed decently in the IPL. They are trying to groom players. Manav Suthar is made for Test cricket. So he has been kept there. Harsh Dubey is a slightly multifaceted player. He also bats and fields well," he said.

Harsh rewarded the selectors' faith in the first ODI against Afghanistan. After conceding 16 runs in his opening over, he bounced back to finish with figures of 3/47 in five overs, dismissing Hashmatullah Shahidi, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Allah Ghazanfar.
