A crippling injury had laid Ashish Nehra low for the last two years, but now he has made his comeback in the avatar of an IPL player.
The most remarkable aspect of his comeback is that Mumbai Indians outbid Jaipur Royals for his services, thus making him the highest paid cricketer who has not come up for action.
A couple of good outings for Mumbai Indians will surely thrust him into the reckoning for a place in the national team. If he does clinch a place in the national team it will be the crowning moment of a remarkable come-back.
Sadly his comeback story brings to light BCCI’s arbitrary and self-indulgent ways. To let an injured player fend for himself with no monetary support reflects badly on the richest sporting body in the world.
Surely, it must have been petty politics and not financial considerations that stopped the board from supporting him.
