Mad 15 years.. cant agree more stoksey !
It’s been a mad 15 years. It’s had everything thrown in there, from the highest highs to the lowest lows (on and off the field 😜).
My time was up, and no one was going to be able to make that decision other than me.
But in the meantime, I just want to say I ❤️ every single England fan and every single cricket fan who’s supported me over the years.
I ❤️ every single person I’ve walked out onto the field with representing England.
I could go on and on, but I hope you get the gist of how much I loved doing what I did for 15 years.
I’m looking forward to being a fan and supporting the team, and the odd day in hospitality won’t go amiss 🤣.
Family, friends, teammates, fans… I ❤️ yas all.

I don't think Rishabh Pant needs to improve his understanding of the match situation.
I think Gautam Gambhir has to improve his understanding of Pant.

I am not sure it is about resources anymore
China between 2006-2022 spent $4.8 Billion on Football development, brought international stars in their prime, spent $1 Billion on Campus football development alone
Result - China is 94th in FIFA rankings today, lost 5 out of its a tiny country of Curacao with 1.5 Lakh people qualified, caveat here being all its players are born and raised in Netherlands
So it's also about culture, whether the player is being bought up in a country where there is football culture, where it's treated as default option of relaxation and energy exertion, and not has to compete with another more popular sport
My best bet for Indian football to develop and make an appearance in world cup is -
Scout 200 good talent in the age group of 7-10 years, tie up with European clubs, where we will give them a lumpsum fee to accomodate Indian kids in their youth academy - doesn't have to Barca, Man Utd but mid table 1st division clubs like Brentford, Stuttgart, Villareal
Send the kid with parent/s, give them a sustenance allowance
But it's important we send them between age 8-12, because once they cross teenage the quality, speed, endurance difference gap becomes so massive that our kids will never be able to compete
Do a contract with each kid's parent that they will not take foreign citizenship to represent other country, otherwise you will have to return 1000 times the amount invested
And at the same time clean up the system at home, fix the league and do the usual reforms at school level
