The cricket pundit further compared the current scenario to a "punishment posting," as he raised questions about how India's domestic cricket is being valued by the elite stars. Recently, big names like Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, and Yashasvi Jaiswal have opted out of Mumbai's crucial must-win game against Meghalaya after playing in the previous game against Jammu and Kashmir.
KL Rahul (elbow injury) and Virat Kohli (neck stiffness) missed their last game due to injury concerns, while Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, and Yashasvi Jaiswal opted out due to the workload management, and that theory is just out of Aakash Chopra’s understanding.
Actually, he is concerned about this trend. Notably, Ravindra Jadeja has been playing regularly for Saurashtra after returning from the Australia tour, while Shubman Gill is also not playing in Punjab’s ongoing Ranji match against Bengal. However, Mohammed Siraj is playing for Hyderabad against Vidarbha after skipping the last match due to workload management.
It is looking like a punishment posting: Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel: “Shreyas, Rohit, and Yashasvi have all given it (Mumbai's must-win match against Meghalaya) a miss. Ultimately, everyone has done the token job. Virat had not played (in the first match of the current round of the Ranji Trophy), so he is playing this match. Everyone else has marked their attendance.
