Bihar: Team India is in very good form these days. Apart from the Test series defeat against New Zealand at home, Indian cricket has shown excellent performance in the last four years at home and abroad. But if you look closely at the Indian squad, you will notice a special feature in it. Players from some selected states will be seen in Team India. Apart from this, states like Bihar are being completely ignored.
Let us tell you that players from Bihar are hardly seen in the Indian cricket team. This does not mean that there is no cricket talent in this state. In fact, legendary players like great captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ishan Kishan, Mukesh Kumar, Saba Karib and Kirti Azad are from Bihar. But most of these players played domestic cricket for some other state, which raises the question why they took this step.
Actually, the national selectors do not take the players of Bihar seriously. Apart from this, the infrastructure here is also nothing special. In such a situation, talented players turn to other states and cricket associations to improve their career. Well, this bad condition is not only in Bihar. Almost all the teams of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and North East are facing these conditions. Team India is dominated by players from only a few states.
Most of the players from Mumbai, Delhi and Gujarat are seen in Team India. Delhi has given players like Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir, Shikhar Dhawan to Indian cricket, while Mumbai has produced players like Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Ajinkya Rahane and Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, Bihar should identify talent from an early age and decide on super star players.
