Srikkanth tells selectors to take tough call on Abhishek Sharma amid lean patch: ‘Sanju will get his chance again’

Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth criticised Abhishek for being exposed and said it's time for the selectors to take tough calls regarding him, while backing Samson to return to the scheme of things.

"Abhishek Sharma has been sorted out (by opponents) in international cricket, right from the World Cup. I think a tough call has to be taken against him now. I feel Sanju will get his chance again now. He will receive a call back 100%. The selectors will have to take a tough call," he said in a video on his YouTube channel.

Srikkanth was full of praise for Mayank after the pacer enjoyed a successful return from injury during the Zimbabwe series. The former India opener hailed the youngster's consistency across all three matches and urged the team management to continue backing promising talents.

"It was good to see Mayank Yadav playing all three games. So happy for him. Look at how consistent this boy was. The Indian future is very good. You have to back the right youngsters. I don't mind Ashok Sharma either," he said.
