Ajit Agarkar: After becoming the chief selector, Ajit Agarkar is taking big decisions in a hurry. After becoming a selector, the dream of many players to play in Team India is going to be fulfilled. Although Ishaan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswa have completed their West Indies tour. While some players may be completed soon in the Asian Games.
The 19th edition of the Dasasal Asian Games 2023 is scheduled to take place in Hangzhou, China, from 23rd September to 8th October. Recently, on 21st July, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the 15-member Team India for the tournament. Ajit Agarkar has included a player in the team who was previously left out by Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya.
Thanks to Ajit Agarkar’s selection, this player had a stroke of luck.
Ajit Agarkar, the selector for the Asian Games 2023, has chosen a young team to represent India in China. Among the selected players, five will be making their debut in Team India’s jersey. Interestingly, Agarkar has also provided an opportunity to players who have been overlooked during bilateral series, and fast bowler Avesh Khan is among those fortunate players to get a chance.
Ajit Agarkar has shown immense confidence in Avesh Khan, who had been inactive for an extended period, by including him in the 15-member squad for the Asian Games 2023. Avesh Khan’s cricketing journey has been filled with various challenges and successes. Interestingly, before his selection in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Avesh’s father used to run a paan shop.
This player’s selection has left Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya with a sense of admiration or amazement
Indian fast bowler Avesh Khan has been out of the team since his last match against West Indies on 24th July 2022, and nearly a year has passed since then. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been given an opportunity to play under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy or during the New Zealand tour, where Hardik Pandya was also a part of the team.
However, Avesh Khan now has a chance to make a strong case for his return to Team India by performing well in the upcoming Asian Games. His impressive performance in the tournament could catch the attention of the selectors, and there is a possibility that Ajit Agarkar might consider him for the Ireland tour as well. The Asian Games could be a crucial platform for Avesh Khan to prove his abilities and stake a claim for a spot in the national team once again.
