Would Abhi be in Sanju place had he not performed in recent series

Would Abhi be in Sanju place had he not performed in recent series

I am happy for Prabh Simran for getting selected to Indian squad for Zim series. But, what did Sanju do to fall behind the pecking order of keeper batsman. I thought in the worst case scenario he would be behind Ishan. Do you think this would have happened for Abhi had he not performed in the recent series.

Is it the start of PBKS lobby in ICT?

why is Nitish Reddy not selected for the Zimbabwe t20 series?

Is it because it’s coinciding with a test/ODI series? Or they just ignored him even though he was selected in t20i before the injury?

What's with the narrative that Abhi is bad against spin

Same as title. I have come across lot of time that Abhi is not strong against spin. Hence, we need a batsman like Sanju or Gill or whoever. But, I remember Head mentioning in post match presentations that he is one of the best players against spin so whenever spinner comes on he gives the strike to Abhi. I know he got out against spin in World cup but he would have gotten out to pace as well looking at the way WC went, which he also did. It was just pure bad luck and nerves. So, why this narrative.

The IPL didn’t just change cricket — it changed cricket culture. Should my management game expand from 8 teams to 10 or 12?

When the Indian T20 league kicked off in 2008, it felt like cricket had suddenly entered a new era.

Before that, most of us followed cricket through countries, legends, and big international rivalries. Then franchise cricket came in and created something completely different: city loyalty, player auctions, salary caps, scouting, brand identity, fan wars, and squads built like sports dynasties.

A player could be a national hero one month and then become the face of a rival city franchise the next. Young domestic players suddenly had a platform to become household names. Overseas stars became part of Indian cricket culture. Analytics, matchups, death bowling specialists, finishers, powerplay hitters, impact players — everything became more tactical and more managerial.

That culture shift is one of the big inspirations behind Cricket Management Tycoon.

Right now, the game’s Indian T20 management mode is built around the classic 8-team structure inspired by the 2008 era. I wanted to capture that original feeling: auctions, rivalries, domestic scouting, building a squad from scratch, and trying to create a franchise identity.

But now I’m thinking about expansion.

Would players prefer:

Option A: 10-team format
Add two new expansion-style teams, inspired by the modern league evolution. This keeps the tournament balanced, adds more auction chaos, and gives more domestic players a chance to break through.

Option B: 12-team format
Go bigger and create a full alternate-universe Indian T20 league with even more regions, more scouting depth, more squad-building pressure, and a larger league calendar.

For the two extra teams, I’m currently thinking about adding fictional teams inspired by:

  1. Gujarat / Ahmedabad region — strong cricket market, modern franchise feel, aggressive recruitment identity.
  2. Lucknow / Uttar Pradesh region — massive player base, strong northern identity, great potential for youth scouting and domestic talent.

If the game eventually goes to 12 teams, I’d love to add two more regions like Kerala/Kochi, Pune, Indore, or maybe even a North-East inspired franchise to make the league feel more national.

What would you prefer as a player?

Keep it classic with 8?
Expand naturally to 10?
Or go full chaos with 12 teams?

Only brand that would make sense on our jersey...

Aggressive, one dimensional, and just dominate kind of philosophy which does match our franchise as well...

Would you guys take him in as mentor/ batting coach

Would you guys take him in as batting coach/ mentor.

He is suited for our batting style. He knows about how we play.

I don't know whether he did as a coach anywhere post his retirement.

But what do you guys think
