Ravi Shastri heaped praise on Amol Muzumdar, one of the greatest Mumbai batsmen of all time, and attested that it was a loss for Indian cricket to have not seen the right-hander don the whites. Despite amassing over 11,000 first-class runs, Muzumdar ended his career without playing a single Test.

Mumbai’s Shreyas Iyer, who boasts of an impeccable first-class record, averaging over 52, believes that his red-ball record is good enough to warrant selection for the Indian Test side. Averaging close to 50 in ODI cricket, Iyer stated that he now is looking to cement his place in the Test side.

Cricket Association of Bengal President Avishek Dalmiya has revealed that CAB batting consultant VVS Laxman will provide online coaching classes to their players. Dalmiya further added that focus will be given especially to the top-order batsmen so that performance can be better next season.
