Akash Chopra has his say on Afghanistan series selection
The omission of players like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ishan Kishan has raised eyebrows. Fans, along with former players like Aakash Chopra, have expressed confusion regarding these exclusions. Aakash Chopra, in a series of social media posts, directly questioned the team's decision-making process, especially concerning the absence of Iyer and Kishan.
Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer and prominent cricket pundit, articulated the questions many Indian fans has on his social media account. Questions about Shreyas Iyer's omission despite his recent vice-captaincy role and Ishan Kishan's unexplained absence have fueled the ongoing discussions on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
Akash Chopra on his X account wrote, "Iyer was nominated as the Vice-Captain for the 5-match T20i series vs Australia. Was a part of the squad against SA too. Now, finds no place in the team vs Afghanistan. Dubey was in the squad vs Aus at home. Wasn't picked for SA. Back in the team vs AFG. Also, where is Ishan Kishen? Any news on his availability?"
With the T20 World Cup just few months, this series against Afghanistan holds immense significance as it will be the last international series that India will play before the T20 World Cup.
Even for those not selected for the current assignment, a strong performance in the upcoming IPL season could pave the way for inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad. The stakes are high, and every player understands the importance of making a mark in these final T20Is before the global showdown.
