Cricket Controversy: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday night announced its team for the three-match home T20 series (IND vs AFG T20I Series) against Afghanistan. The series is starting with the first match in Mohali on January 11, in which the Indian team will be captained by Rohit Sharma while experienced batsman Virat Kohli has also returned to the T20 team after about 14 months. The selectors have also given a chance to Shivam Dube in the team, regarding which former Indian cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra has raised some questions.
Let us tell you that many changes have been seen in the Indian team for the series against Afghanistan. Players like Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja have been given rest while some such players have been given a place in the team, which is beyond comprehension. While tweeting on Twitter regarding the selection, Chopra raised questions on Iyer not being in the squad. He wrote that Iyer was made the vice-captain for the five-match T20 series against Australia (IND vs AUS T20I Series). He was also a part of the team against South Africa (IND vs SA T20I Series). But did not get a place in the team against Afghanistan.
Players should try to take advantage of the opportunity, former international shuttler Ajay Jayaram said at the annual sports awards ceremony.
It is noteworthy that Chopra has also raised questions about Dubey making a comeback in the Indian T20 team. He said why is Dubey going in and out of the squad? He wrote that Dubey was in the team against Australia at home. He was not selected for South Africa and now he has returned to the T20 squad against Afghanistan. When Ishan Kishan was not selected, Chopra wrote, where is Ishan? Any news on its availability? Let it be known that Ishaan had left the South Africa tour midway citing mental fatigue and returned to India. There has been no update from him since then.
India’s T20 team against Afghanistan: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.
