"You Think You Might Get That Chance...": Domestic Star On WI Tour Snub
India selectors have been under the scanner ever-since the squad for the upcoming West Indies tour has been announced. Many fans and former cricketers slammed the selection committee for overlooking Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan, despite his major contributions in the domestic cricket. Another brilliant domestic batter, who got ignored by the selectors is Priyank Panchal. The 33-year-old Gujarat-based batter was earlier named as an injury replacement for Rohit Sharma during a Test series against South Africa in 2022 but could not find a place in the Playing XI.
In a recent interview, Panchal revealed that he has taken the snub in a really positive way and stated that selection is something that is not in a player's hand.
"I think the selection is completely out of our control. What I think is you just have to keep on scoring runs against good teams on any kind of wicket and in any kind of situation. Someday that confidence will come in others that maybe you are capable of facing those tough situations. So if we start thinking about all those calculations of selection then it will be very difficult for any cricketer to focus. If you come in such a situation once, you will lose out on 2-3 months. So just keep your head down and keep and scoring runs," said Panchal on Sportskeeda.
"Yes it is a bit difficult when you are in the team and you think you may get that chance and you don't get it. But it is not something that should completely consume your mind and you cannot move ahead. These things have happened before and may happen ahead as so many players are playing in the country and thankfully we have so much talent and competition. I feel that as long as I am part of that competition, it's better. I want to play for the country, so I try to minimise thinking and maximize on how I can get better," he added.
During the West Indies tour, a total of 10 matches will be played, including three ODIs and five T20Is. The tour will kick off with a two-match Test series, the first of which will be played from July 12 to 16 in Dominica.
India's Test squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ajinkya Rahane (vice-captain), KS Bharat (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Navdeep Saini.
India's ODI squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Virat Kohli, Surya Kumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Mukesh Kumar.

British PM Rishi Sunak 'Sad' Over Cricket Racism And Sexism Report
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he was "sad" to read a damning report that claimed racism and sexism are rife within English cricket. The publication of the Independent Commission report into Equity in Cricket came in the wake of a racism scandal centred around the treatment of Pakistan-born bowler Azeem Rafiq at English side Yorkshire.
Rafiq went public with allegations of racism and bullying in 2020, prompting the England and Wales Cricket Board to commission the report. Six former Yorkshire players found guilty of using racist language in the Rafiq case were last month fined by the Cricket Discipline Commission.
Of the more than 4,000 individuals interviewed for the ICEC report, 50 percent described experiencing discrimination in the previous five years, with the figures substantially higher for people from ethnically diverse communities. Women were often treated as "second-class citizens", the report found, also stating that not enough had been done to address class barriers, with private schools dominating the pathway into cricket.
Appearing on BBC Radio during the second Test between England and Australia at Lord's on Saturday, Sunak said: "It was, for people who love cricket, really hard to read and you were just sad."
A total of 44 recommendations were made in the report, including a call for equal pay for male and female international players by 2030. Sunak said the ECB was "absolutely committed" to fixing the problems outlined in the report.
"I have spent a little bit of the morning talking to the team at the ECB and I think they have approached it in exactly the right way," he said.
"They commissioned this report off their own back because they wanted to be proactive so they deserve credit for that."
Sunak hopes the report provides cricket with a chance to reset its moral compass. "They have offered an unreserved apology and are fully committed to implementing change and for this to be a reset moment for cricket," he said.
"We all want it to be open for everybody from all backgrounds and where everyone can feel respect and supported when playing it.
"So that's what we want and I'm confident the whole cricketing family share that ambition."
Sunak, the first British Asian Prime Minister, said he had endured his own problems regarding racism, although he acknowledged the progress made on the issue in the United Kingdom.
"Of course I have experienced racism growing up, in particular, and of course I know it exists," he said. "It stings you in a way that very few other things do. It stings you. It does hurt."
