Squad is out, in t-20 only surprise was Hardik missing out ( maybe due to injury) and Reddy's inclusion.
At the moment, there can be only one pace bowling allrounder in the playing XI. And for now, that spot goes to Nitish Kumar Reddy. Pandya had an average IPL season, and maybe he needs a break now. Other options are Venkatesh Iyer and Shardul Thakur, but they were not being considered. Still surprised with the inclusion of Samson in the squad. How many opportunities need to be given to this guy? And in case Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma opens the bat, with Ishan Kishan at the no.3 position, I can't imagine him getting a place in the XI.
Indian team piggy back on sanju in WC knockouts tho so taunting about "how many chances" isn't fair imo.
I also think new kid should get chance but not like this, it should be smooth transition. Still have plenty of time for experiment at the opening slot.
Management has moved on from thakur ji and venky is nowhere in discussion.
