Nepotism exists at all levels of Cricket matches. However when it comes to national team you will not be playing forever unless you show performance and display your skills .
You can divide the players into these categories
- People like Anurag Thakur , Tejasvi Yadav and Udit Patel had no skills at all. Hanno solo giocato a cricket per divertimento e con l'aiuto dei loro padri influenti
- Giocatori come M.Nagamooto, Anirudha Srikanth, Stuart Binny e Rohan Gavaskar che hanno fallito anche dopo le loro possibilità a causa dei loro padri e zii influenti
- Giocatori come Faisal Iqbal, Shaun Marsh, Nick Compton e Doug Bracewell che hanno buone capacità e grande potenziale. Non vengono selezionati per giocare in nazionale a causa di prestazioni incoerenti e il loro posto viene occupato da giocatori migliori
- Giocatori come Stuart Broad e Shaun Pollock che hanno dimostrato la loro selezione in nazionale con prestazioni costanti
Cheers e pace fuori!!!
