Former spinner of Indian cricket team Harbhajan Singh pointed out three massive exclusions for the upcoming T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. Harbhajan took to social media to express his disappointment at Abhishek Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Sanju Samson missing out. While Samson did find a place in the T20I squad, Abhishek and Chahal were not included at all, despite the young batter scoring big against Zimbabwe and the veteran spinner having a brilliant IPL season.
He posted on his official handle on X (formerly known as Twitter), "Hard to understand why @yuzi_chahal, @IamAbhiSharma4, and @IamSanjuSamson are not part of the Indian Team for Sri Lanka.”
Meanwhile, newly-appointed captain in the shortest format, Suryakumar Yadav, expressed his happiness after being named as Men in Blue’s newest captain in T20Is, saying that the new role brings a lot of “responsibility, excitement, and enthusiasm.”
