Why Did Ajinkya Rahane Miss The Trick By Not Playing County And Preferring IPL?
Cricket Today|May 2022
If Rahane wants to return to the scheme of things for India, County Cricket at this time would have served him well.
Why Did Ajinkya Rahane Miss The Trick By Not Playing County And Preferring IPL?

A seasoned cricketer, vice-captain, and an established member of the Indian cricket team, Ajinkya Rahane had everything going for him in the longest format. He also led India to a win Down Under in 2018-19, and things looked bright. However, form evaded Rahane since then, both home and away and finally, the middle-order batter was led to being dropped and his vice-captaincy gone as well. Rahane was dropped from the Indian side for a Test series versus Lanka. Notably, it wasn't just him but also Cheteshwar Pujara, who too struggled after the 2018-19 tour of Australia. Both senior players who have a few more years of cricket left will want to represent India once more and, most importantly, the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship. Sadly, the curtains could be there for Rahane and a door opened for Pujara. This is because of County cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. India will be playing England in a Test match left of last year. We could see Pujara come in at number three and Rahane not being anywhere near. Here we decode why Rahane missed the trick by not opting for County like Pujara and preferring the IPL instead.
