Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticised Cricket South Africa (CSA) for scheduling a 3-match IND vs SA ODI series in a T20 World Cup season. Notably, Team India are just left with 5 T20Is before the start of T20 World Cup 2024 in June.
Speaking to Star Sports, Sanjay Manjrekar slammed the South African cricket board, saying that CSA could have some kind of common sense before scheduling the white-leg series.
“We were talking about cricket South Africa, whether they could have done something different. Now, this is something they can do. This is within their control. What is the point of having three one day International’s after three T20s? When the next World Cup is going to be a T20 World Cup”, Manjrekar said.
The former cricketer suggested that the Proteas board should have chatted with both teams and investors to find out whether they would have liked to see more T20Is.
“Just maybe have a chat with the teams and all the investors into this series. And find out whether they would like to see, maybe, six T20s because it’s T20 International season, right?”, Manjrekar added.
The 58-year-old further added that nobody is going to remember the result of the 3-match ODI series.
“Nobody’s going to remember the result and what happened in those matches because nobody cares. T20 Cricket is on everyone’s mind”, Manjrekar concluded.
