[ad_1] When people talk about photography on smartphones, they inevitably refer to the multi-megapixel cameras on the back of the phones that come with several features such as OIS, special shooting modes and the like.

That’s what I’ve been labelled as by the selectors. They think that I want to concentrate on white-ball cricket. But if they call me for red ball, I will always be open to (play).”On whether he focuses ...
