Ex-India Stars Unhappy Over Rinku Singh's Snub says, 'Some Players Going To T20 World Cup On Reputation'
Former player of team India Rohan Gavaskar was unhappy with the decision of selection committee of dropping Rinku, while another ex-India player Virender Sehwag tried to understand the rationale behind the call.
Rohan said, "If IPL 2024 is the metric, where has Mohammed Siraj picked wickets for RCB? Suryakumar Yadav... he was always in my team, and he should be there in T20 World Cup too. But even he hasn't performed for MI.”
On the other side Virender Sehwag said, "Some players are going there on reputation. Like Suryakumar, his reputation is that he is an explosive hitter. Yes, he can have bad days. Rinku Singh is also like him, the difference is that he is young and Suryakumar is experienced. And Indian selectors have preferred experience. Rinku is young, he can play later too.”
Sehwag said, “We said after the previous World Cup that Rohit and Virat won’t play in 2024, but this time, I’m sure they won’t play the next.”
