Unnecessary Incident

Ambati Rayudu and Sheldon Jackson are the senior Cricketers and seeing such type of behavior from this callous. Sheldon in a tweet said: “I have a right to believe and dream that if i have performed for 3 continuous season, I may get picked on the basis of my performances not age, tired of hearing this that I’m a good player and performer but I’m old, I’m 35 not 75.”

It would be interesting to see what action BCCI takes on the two players as this is against the spirit of the game. With the T20 World Cup around the corner, such sort of incidents can damage the name of Indian Cricket.
