There should be no excuse for not being able to play Ranji Trophy: Gavasakar tells senior players

Hindustan Times  

Sydney, Legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday urged Indian batters to play in the Ranji Trophy without offering any excuses to iron out technical deficiencies that led to their peril in two successive series against New Zealand and Australia. There should be no excuse for not being able to play Ranji Trophy: Gavasakar tells senior players Gavaskar said it was worrying to see the Indian batters churning out underwhelming efforts against New Zealand at home and in the just-concluded series against Australia Down Under. "If you do not play those matches, Gautam Gambhir will have to take a few tough decisions against those who are not available for the Ranji Trophy," he added. But those who are not playing T20, will they play Ranji Trophy matches or not?"
