5 deserving Indian players to miss out from T20I squad
BCCI have announced the 18-man squad for T20I series against South Africa. Most of the players who got a chance in the last series against Sri Lanka
like Venkatesh Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi and Deepak Hooda have retained their places.
The five-match T20I series could be crucial for many players who are looking to book their place in the squad for the T20 World Cup 2022.
Various spots in the middle order are up for grabs as the selectors are looking to give opportunities to newcomers.
While there have been fresh call-ups based on IPL form like Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik, there are some notable absentees
Here is a list of 5 players who were overlooked during the squad selection:
1. Rahul TripathiRahul Tripathi has been in fine form not just in this IPL but for 3-4 seasons now. Many youngsters have made their debut based on one season but the selectors have continued to overlook the Sunrisers Hyderabad batter.
2. Shikhar DhawanShikhar Dhawan has once again been overlooked in the shortest format of the game for India. One of the most consistent and underrated players going around, Shikhar notched another 400+ run season with Punjab Kings.
3. Mohsin KhanMohsin Khan has been one of the finds of this year’s IPL. India have been in search of a good left-arm pacer since Zaheer Khan and the emergence of Mohsin is a happy sight for all Indian cricket fans.
4. Tilak VarmaTilak has been one of the shining lights in a dismal campaign for the Mumbai Indians. In his debut season, Tilak has shown incredible composure and temperament to bat in difficult situations.
5. T NatarajanT Natarajan has been one of SRH‘s key bowlers in recent years and he has also represented India in all three formats. A horrific knee injury halted his journey but has now recovered fully.
