<\/div>\nFile image of Indian cricket team star Tilak Varma\u00a9 X (Twitter)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Tilak Varma<\/a>‘s inclusion in India’s Asia Cup 2023 squad was a proof that if one has potential, reaching great heights in your field is always possible. The left-handed batter showed potential in the T20I series against West Indies in the middle-order and he was justly rewarded. In a line-up full of right-handed starts, Varma provides variety though he lacks experience. Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar<\/a> praised Varma’s inclusion and made a tongue in cheek remark. “Yes, because he is in hot form. Look at his domestic career, he’s got the numbers to merit a call for India. And also, tongue in cheek, he is also getting ready for 50 overs cricket by failing in his last two matches in the T20 format.<\/p>\n “So he is getting ready for 50-over cricket. It is hard to find a weakness in him, in white ball cricket. And as I’ve mentioned before, let’s have some impact, quality players at number four, five, and six. There’s a tremendous rush for spots number one, two, and three, in Indian cricket, let’s have these number four, five, six batters out there,” Manjrekar said on Star Sports.<\/p>\n Manjrekar was very impressed with the clarity of the team selection and how there was reason behind every decision taken at the press conference, he said: “The press conference was a very impressive debut by Ajit Agarkar<\/a> as chairman of selectors. What I liked is both Rohit and Ajit giving a lot of respect to the people asking the questions. There were a lot of open conversations, no one was scared of trying to reveal something they shouldn’t.<\/p>\n
