'Pandey ji's career is over? After Team India, it is difficult to play here as well, selectors made a big decision.

After Team India, Pandey Ji has now been dropped from the domestic cricket team as well. After the selectors of Team India, now the selectors of his domestic team Karnataka have also shown him the way out of the team. Pandey ji here means Manish Pandey. 35-year-old Manish Pandey will not be seen playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy starting at the end of this month. He will also not play in the second half of the Ranji Trophy because the selectors have dropped him from that team as well.

Selectors took steps to give opportunity to the youth.

The question is whether Manish Pandey's cricket career is about to end. This question is getting more serious because the KSCA selectors have given the reason for excluding Manish Pandey as giving opportunities to the youth. KSCA chairman J. Abhiram said that Manish Pandey has been dropped from all formats. He also said that the decision to oust the 35-year-old cricketer was not taken suddenly, but he was also talked to about this.

J. Abhiram told Sportstar that Manish Pandey is a great batsman. There is no doubt about his ability. But there are times when you have to take tough steps. You have to create opportunities for the youth. That is why we decided to drop Manish Pandey.

Manish Pandey also dropped from Ranji Trophy team

Manish Pandey was also the vice-captain of Karnataka in the current season of Ranji Trophy. But, Abhiram confirmed that Manish Pandey will not play in Ranji Trophy when it starts in January. The selectors want to give a chance to young batsman KV Anish in his place. Abhiram also said that now it is completely up to the young players how they take advantage of the opportunities they get.

Last match played for Team India 3 years ago

Manish Pandey made his debut for Karnataka in 2007. He has played 118 first class matches for Karnataka. Manish Pandey has also played 29 ODIs and 39 T20Is for Team India. He played his last match for the Indian team in Colombo in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in 2021.
