Former Indian Star Questions Selectors: “Iyer as Vice-Captain, Where’s Ishan Kishan?

The T20I series against Afghanistan witnessed the return of seasoned campaigners Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to Team India’s lineup. Sanju Samson also secured a spot in the squad for the upcoming 3-match series, garnering approval from fans and pundits alike. However, the omission of several key players, including KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ishan Kishan, left social media buzzing with confusion.

Former India cricketer turned pundit, Aakash Chopra, took to social media to express his perplexity over the squad selection. He raised pointed questions about the absence of Iyer and Kishan, as well as the return of all-rounder Shivam Dube. Chopra highlighted Iyer’s recent role as Vice-Captain in the 5-match T20I series against Australia and his inclusion in the squad against South Africa. However, Iyer now finds himself excluded from the team facing Afghanistan. Similarly, Dube, who was part of the squad against Australia, missed out against South Africa but has made a comeback against Afghanistan. Chopra also inquired about the whereabouts of Ishan Kishan, seeking information on his availability.

The 3-match series, scheduled to commence on January 11, serves as the Indian team’s final T20I assignment before the T20 World Cup next year. Interestingly, players not chosen for the Afghanistan series still have an opportunity to secure a spot in the T20 World Cup squad by delivering strong performances in the upcoming IPL season. This aspect adds an extra layer of significance to the performances of players across the board, making the upcoming T20I series and subsequent IPL crucial for those eyeing a spot in the prestigious T20 World Cup squad.
