Farid Khan, a journalist from Pakistan, has drawn a lot of criticism for his bizarre statement about young Indian pacer Mayank Yadav. Farid Ahmed believes that Mayank Yadav is set to represent India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Mayank Yadav has been in the news in spite of playing just two matches for LSG, but he has earned immense praise from cricketers all around the world.
Speaking about Mayank, Farid said, “Mayank Yadav will be part of India’s T20 World Cup squad. I assure you. You can take a screenshot of my post. India is getting him ready, and he will play against Pakistan. BCCI is already showing him videos of Haris Rauf’s spell against India in the last T20 World Cup. Former Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel is at LSG; he is getting Mayank ready.”
On the other hand, Team India’s former batter, Manoj Tiwari, said that if he had been selected, he would have picked Mayank as the third seamer for India.

In his recent interaction with Cricbuzz, Manoj Tiwari said, “If I were in Ajit Agarkar’s position, I would put him in. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and then him. Looking at Mayank’s form, action, and release, it looks like he is in control, and it feels like if you give him a bigger stage, he will deliver. With the IPL where many overseas players do come in and get them out, your confidence will also go up.”
