Ajinkya Rahane believes that Karun Nair should have been given more opportunities by the selectors considering his brilliant run of form in domestic cricket.

The experienced India batter feels that selection of a player should not be based on age if he is active in domestic cricket.

Former captain Ajinkya Rahane hit a resolute 159 as Mumbai reached 406 for eight in their first innings on a rain-affected second day of their Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match against Chhattisgarh.

Currently, any cricketer with 10-match first-class experience can apply for being a state selector and should have retired at least five years ago.

The possibility of Rishabh Pant's return to action, an array of new stars on the horizon and a clutch of veterans' battle for relevance will provide much-needed context to the 91st edition of the Ranji Trophy.

Suryakumar Yadav's decision to withdraw an appeal in India's Asia Cup 2025 opener against UAE had divided opinions.

Ajinkya Rahane on Thursday announced his decision to step down as Mumbai captain ahead of the 2025-26 domestic season.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Mumbai batter named Gill and Abhishek Sharma as openers, while he snubbed Sanju Samson for XI.
