During the just finished T20 World Cup 2024, Avesh Khan was one of the travelling reserves. After taking six wickets in three T20I series matches against Zimbabwe, he was benched for the two white-ball legs of the Sri Lankan series.
Aakash Chopra, a former cricket player, asked why he wasn’t there and made enquiries over his absence.
The 46-year-old said that although he was shocked to see Avesh play in the island nation, the BCCI was thinking about investing in him. In addition, the former cricket player turned pundit expressed his desire to see Prasidh Krishna play in the game’s tiniest format. Even though the pacer gives up a lot of runs, he thinks he has what it takes to be a successful Twenty20 player.
“It’s a valid point, since Avesh Khan was in the reserves when the team recently competed in the T20 World Cup. And where is Avesh Khan now? Avesh Khan should have been alive if we were to invest in him. In addition to playing matches in Zimbabwe, he ought to have been present on the Sri Lankan visit. Chopra posted on his YouTube channel, “Where was he? He was nowhere to be seen.”
“Although Prasidh Krishna’s performance in Twenty20 Internationals seems to be lacking, I still think highly of him.” He’s always been struck hard when he’s played, but I want to put money into it. At the greatest level, he has the ability to be an extremely skilled bowler as well. Therefore, they ought to begin funding him right now, and Avesh Khan ought to have a well-defined plan,” the former India opener continued.

Prior to representing Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy, Prasidh participated in a few international matches and was a member of the Indian team that competed in the ODI World Cup in 2023. Before being eliminated from that event, he only participated in one match. The pacer is still a potential future player, but it’s unclear when he’ll return.
