Former Indian cricket Manoi Tiwary called on Criket Council control in India (BCCI) to meet the selection of live currents to ensure transparency and allow cricket enthusiasts to understand the criteria of inclusion and exclusion of players into higher national teams.
Tiwary’s notes came after he claimed that Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal deserved places In the Asia Cup Groupwho announced the national boss Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday. India appointed a 15 -member group and appointed Suryakumar Yadav as a captain and remembered SHUBMAN GILL as a more captain. Gill, which was not part of the T20i setting since the tour of Sri Lanka last July, returned to the side after a long absence.
The decision raised a debate with questions raised over Gill’s incorporation. Several votes, including former national chief Kris Srikkanth, Criticized the panel for overlooking Yashasvi and Shreyas.
While Yashasvi was named among reserves, Shreyas failed to create a five -member emergency list.
“People who deserve opportunities will not get them. That’s why I have long said that selection meetings should be live broadcasts to understand why the player is selected and why he is not. Simply arrives at a press conference, offers a line or two to exclude, and then do something else is not right not to be right.
“Shreyas and Yashasvi deserved places”
Shreyas Iyer was expected to appear widely in the 15-Mans Asia Cup Squad after the star season with the Pandjab King in IPL 2025. The bombai dough gathered 602 runs 175, redefining its game to meet team requirements. After Iyer had never done more than 150 years before, he came a high -risk approach and found that a consistent success.
On the other hand, Yashasvi, which was part of the Indian 15-man team at last year’s World Cup T20, was overlooked when selectors turned back to Gill as a backup opener.
“Two deserves candidates, Shreyas Iyer and Yashsvi Jaiswal, they went out. When you look at the old conversations with Gautam Gambhir, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who cannot be omitted from the T20 cricket.
“Also, if you take into account the performance of Shreyas Iyer in the last year-V IPL and the domestic cricket-the way in which the captain is surprising that it was not selected.
Voter Ajit Agarkar admitted The fact that only 15 players from such a deep talent pool, especially in the T20 cricket, was a difficult task. Agarkar stressed that it was not Iyer’s mistake, that he was missing, but it was not even a failure of the selection committee.
India will start the Asia Cup campaign against UAE on September 10, the day after the opening match between Afghanistan and Hong Kong.
