'Sri Lanka Might Not Qualify For T20 WC': Aakash Chopra Hits Back At Ranatunga's 'Second-String' Comments

By Sahil Mathur July 05, 2021 • 13:10 PM View: 1673

Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra has hit back at Arjuna Ranatunga's comments about India sending a 'second-string team' for their limited-overs tour to Sri Lanka, which starts on the 13th of July.

"This is a second-string Indian team and their coming here is an insult on our cricket. I blame the current administration for agreeing to play with them due to television marketing needs," Ranatunga had said a few days ago.
