Chairman of selectors, MSK Prasad, has noted that India all-rounder Hardik Pandya needs to be more consistent with both bat and ball.
Meanwhile, owing to his poor show, he sat out from the fifth and final Test at the Oval. India lost the Test at Southampton by 60 runs to give England an unassailable 3-1 lead. Click Hare For youngest cricketer
MSK Prasad admitted that Hardik Pandya lacks consistency adding that he has shown the ability to play in all conditions.
“Hardik Pandya is an all-rounder in the making. He scored a century against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. He batted well against South Africa in the Cape Town Test and performed well both with bat and ball against England in Nottingham. This clearly shows that he can perform in all conditions,” Prasad said.
“Only thing we expect from him is more consistency with both bat & ball. I am sure this tour would have been a big learning experience in his career. He will be a better player with the experience he has gained from this tour,” MSK Prasad added.
