Wells needed at Huddersfield, says manager
London: Huddersfield Town manager Chris Powell says he has no intention of letting striker Nahki Wells go after the Bermudian came off the bench to seal a 2-1 English Championship victory over Bolton.
Powell Monday said Wells, 24, still has a future at the West Yorkshire club – which he joined last season from League One outfit Bradford City – after the striker broke a near two-month goal drought following his entry with 14 minutes remaining, as per reports.
The , without a goal in eight games, had been pushed out of the starting line-up after the loan signing of Wigan’s Grant Holt.
But Powell said after Sunday’s much-needed victory, which moved Huddersfield up to 18th place in the table, that he has no intention of letting Wells leave the club.
“Nahki will get games and will score goals. He is an important player. He might not think that when he doesn’t start but I know 100 percent what he is capable of,” Powell said.
“We have to make sure we have the platform for him to play and score goals.”
Holt’s loan spell has now ended and he will return to Wigan, with Powell conceding he is short of strikers.
“We are light up front and we will be looking to strengthen in January,” he said.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
