“Stop thinking about IPL, think about this country. Indian cricket is the most important thing, not franchise cricket. Franchise cricket can make money, but you can also make money from international cricket. Unless you start to pay attention to international cricket, these The results will continue.”

“Due to countless changes, this Indian team has fallen apart” – Dane Kaneria
Dissecting the recent woes of the Indian team, Kaneria blamed the constant change in management for leaving the team in tatters. He explained:
“Because of all the changes, this Indian team is falling apart. Players who are in shape are rested. Those who are not in shape continue to play. The team is broken, or rather broken, and very badly.
“The batsmen are unsure of their position as they have been asked to bat in different positions over the past few months. The bowling attack has been changing. There is no proper planning or execution. I don’t even think there is a proper planning. India Cricket has gone downhill and there is a good chance that Bangladesh will win the Test too.”
