'Told not to go...,' pacer Mayank Yadav reveals reason behind not playing Duleep Trophy
BCCI selectors want Mayank Yadav fit for Australia Tests in November - Reports
India's latest pace sensation Mayank Yadav rose to stardom with his 156 km/h rockets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 while playing for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The pacer, however, got injured during the tournament and has not played in any competitive cricket ever since.
Mayank is currently under rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru and was not selected for upcoming domestic Duleep Trophy. His Sonnet Club coach Devendra Sharma, who had mentored the bowler for years, shared an update regarding the fitness.
“Like in the morning, he is made to bowl, followed by rehab session and exercise routine. After this, he again does his bowling in the nets. All of this is something which he is doing there on a daily basis, as per what he told me,” said Devendra on his NCA schedule, as reported by news agency IANS.
“He bowls eight-ten overs daily, and I did ask him why he wasn’t named in Duleep Trophy squads. To this, Mayank replied, ‘Sir, I have been told not to go into it as I can’t put too much load on my body and concentrate on white-ball cricket for now’,” Devendra added.
Mayank is expected to reach highs of bowling shall he remain injury-free—something which he has found difficult so far.
