Bad news, but trust me I know how you feel. I lost my PG for two weeks, then my C for three weeks, while he was still out I lost my SF for two weeks and now before he is back I have lost my PF for four weeks. What a disaster this entire season has been ruined by injuries. Last season I was on top of the ladder, this season I will probably be 3rd or 4th.
It hurts the U21 team a lot too as he is in reality 1/7 of the entire team, however he is easier to replace than Gnanam, Dey or Ishtaq seeing as he and Peppin, Ghosh and Kumar all fill a similar role, the SG/SF is the only spot where we have depth. But he is both our best shooter and our best defencer so we will miss him a lot. Good news for Al Maghrib tomorrow night.
One other thing these scrimmages do count for ranking but they don't count for NT games player on the player's record. For example I played Kumar last week but he still says that he has played 0 competitive NT games. It is a pity, we get so few real games in a season and then just a ton of scrimmages. Hopefully next season we will have more "real" games - although the team for next season is looking pathetic.
Farooq Ishtaq is ok, maybe Ghanya Tanwar and Bhimasankara Victor Jaya are ok, but all are big men. There are some decent 19 year olds who may be ok if they were trained well this season in Shipirist Rath, Maheya Kanwar and Dhritiman Vikesh. Overall things look even worse for next season than they did this season. It is still the season after that I am looking forward to with great excitement.
