For the Asia Cup 2025, when many legendary cricketers questioned Team India’s squad. Some foreign players also made their statements in this episode. On which former veteran Sunil Gavaskar got angry and he criticized these foreign players fiercely. But now after this statement of Gavaskar, now the response of former Australia wicketkeeper Brand Hadin has come.
Gavaskar had said that foreign players should stay away from the issues of the Indian team and focus on the cricket of their country. Hadin has responded to this. The debate started after Shreyas Iyer did not find a place in India’s T20 team for the Asia Cup.
Hadin said on a podcast called Willow Talk that it is his job to talk about cricket issues. Hadin said that he works in the IPL and hence knows about the players of the Indian team. He further said that he was with Iyer in Punjab Kings and hence knows that he is entitled to be selected in the team. Hadin is Punjab’s batting coach.
Hadin said that, our job is to keep our views on what is happening in world cricket. This is what we do. I have cooked him in the IPL and I stand on what I said. I was surprised that he was not part of the team. I am not saying that the rest of the players who have been elected should not have been elected.
Hadin said that, I said this because the way Iyer handled our team. He is a great leader and the way he leads the team from the front is excellent. India also has a good team while sidelineing players like them.
