Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria lashed out at the Indian players after the Men in Blue suffered an embarrassing defeat in the ODI series against Bangladesh. Team India’s struggle continues in limited-overs cricket since the Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE.

Kaneria advised the Indian players to focus on Indian cricket rather than the IPL, stating that the Indian cricket team will continue to suffer until international cricket is given more importance. 

Danish Kaneria said on his YouTube channel: “Stop thinking about the IPL and think about the country. Indian cricket is most important, not franchise cricket. There is money in franchise cricket, but you can earn money from international cricket as well. Unless and until you start giving importance to international cricket, these kinds of results will continue.”

The former leg-spinner further mentioned that the Indian players are not sure about their batting positions and the bowlers are lacking execution due to the so-called rotation policy.

He also predicted there was a good chance Bangladesh would win the Test series against India as well. Kaneria signed off by saying, “Batters are not sure of their position because they have been asked to bat at various positions over the last few months.

The bowling attack has kept changing. There has been no proper planning or execution. I don’t even think there is a plan in place. Indian cricket has gone down and Bangladesh has got a very good chance of winning the Test matches as well.”
