Σε μια επταετή καριέρα, ο Manoj Tiwari έπαιξε 12 αγώνες ODI για την Ινδία, όπου σημείωσε 287 τρεξίματα με μέσο όρο 26.
Ex-India cricketer Manoj Tiwary has gotten into a habit of creating controversy. Now, he has given fire to an old issue, while speaking in an interview on The Lallantop. There is no doubt that the Bengal batter was a seriously talented one, but then once again, he has started the blame game for his non-inclusion in the team.
Manoj Tiwary Bitter
Yes, one must admit that despite scoring a ton against the West Indies in 2011, he should have gotten more opportunities, but whose fault is it anyway. Now, this time he has blamed MS Dhoni. “He was the captain. Team India runs according to the planning of the skipper. In state teams, things are different but in Team India its all about the captain. If you see, during Kapil Dev’s time it was he who ran the show, during Sunil Gavaskar’s tenure it was his call, same was during Mohammad Azharuddin’s tenure. After that Dada and so on. This will go on unless a strict administrator comes and makes a set rule,” Manoj Tiwary told Lallantop.
Questions MS Dhoni for Dropping Him
“You see Ajit Agarkar (current BCCI chief selector) and you feel he can take strong decisions. He can disagree with the coach. As far as me being dropped for 14 matches after scoring a century, if a player is dropped after scoring a century, obviously I want to know the answer. After century I was praised, but post that I did not have any inkling. At that time, youngsters used to feel afraid, including me. If you ask something, who knows what way it could have been taken. Career is on the line.”
Tiwary went on to say that the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina were not scoring runs, and were still persisted with. “The players who were in the team then were Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma. After that the tour which took place, they were not making runs. And here I was, even after making a century and winning Player of the Match, could not find a place in playing XI. I was dropped for 14 matches, which took place in a space of six months. At that time the dropped player did not get enough practice. I wanted to retire but due to family responsibility could not.”
