Big impact of Barak Bulletin’s editorial questioning the selection of 36-year-old wicket keeper batter Kunal Saikia who has a batting average of 18 in First Class Cricket after playing over a decade and most matches as an opener. The selectors have shown him the doors without playing him a match in the ongoing Ranji Trophy campaign.
What comes as a massive joy for the people of Barak Valley is Silchar’s proficient wicketkeeper-batsman, Abhishek Thakuri, who has earned a well-deserved spot in the team. Thakuri’s inclusion adds depth to the batting order and promises a dynamic presence behind the stumps. With Sumit Gadhigaonkar failing to impress in the three matches Assam played so far, Thakuri stands at the cusp of making a comeback.
Rahul Singh, the seasoned spinner from Silchar, retains his position in the squad, showcasing the team’s reliance on his bowling prowess. Singh’s consistency and experience make him a valuable asset for Assam as they face the challenge against Uttar Pradesh. He has already taken a five-wicket haul in the campaign and is the highest wicket taker for Assam this season.
Another asset of Assam Cricket, Parvez Musharaf who has scored multiple centuries in the under-23 domestic competition has also found a spot in the squad for the match against Uttar Pradesh. Musharaf aslo plays his cricket in Silchar for the India Club. He represents Cachar district in the inter-district tournament.
