Ricky Ponting claims BCCI’s disrespect fueled Shreyas Iyer’s rise to greatness ...Middle East

Ricky Ponting also expressed disappointment over Shreyas Iyer not being picked in the India squad for the five-match Test series against England and slammed the BCCI selection committee.

A major name missing from the 18-player India squad for the England tour was Shreyas Iyer. He has consistently delivered amazing performances in international cricket, IPL, and domestic cricket, but the selection committee still seems not very impressed with his performances.

However, the selectors didn't pick him in the squad, even in the absence of some veteran players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, and Cheteshwar Pujara.

He also revealed that the PBKS skipper quickly moved on from the setback, and his hunger to perform increased. Ponting said:

Shreyas has done absolutely everything - Ricky Ponting

The Aussie great also raised serious questions over Shreyas Iyer's Test snub, saying that the BCCI selectors picked players in the Test squad based on the IPL and domestic performance but ignored the Punjab skipper, who has "done absolutely everything."

"So I was disappointed that he didn’t get picked as I actually felt that he would get picked. But he didn’t. And I think that probably makes him a little bit hungrier for us when these playoff games come around."

I enjoy playing a bit of a role with him as we work really well together - Ricky Ponting

Ponting said that they work really well together as he takes care of tactical stuff and leaves it to Iyer to execute the plans on the field. Ricky Ponting stated:

"I enjoy playing a bit of a role with him as we work really well together. We talk a lot together about the game and tactics and, I think he said last night that he said ‘that I leave it to Ricky to look after the tactical stuff and pick the players, and then he hands it over to me and I go and execute it out on the field’. And that’s the way we’ve worked, this year and it’s been nice to get that sort of working relationship back together again."
