The enigma surrounding Suryakumar Yadav career in the game’s longest format remains unsolved. The flamboyant batter chosen for the Border Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. Rishabh Pant’s absence, he even made it to the playing XI to accelerate if needed. However, when he failed to do so, the team management let him go, although he remained in their plans.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai-born cricketer was dropped from the World Test Championship roster and is now unable to make the Test team, which will face the West Indies in a couple of matches. Seeing the ambiguity surrounding his selection and subsequently dismissal, former India international Aakash Chopra commented on his prospects in the longest format of the game.
The 45-year-old also questioned the national selectors about Arshdeep Singh, the Indian fast. The teenager performed admirably for India in T20Is but had little opportunity to shine in the 50-over format. Notably, Chopra expected him to play against the West Indies, but the great bowler was unable to make the squad.
“And what’s the deal with SKY’s sporadic selection for Tests…?”gets picked…gets drop. Is he being consider for the longest format? And why is Arshdeep not playing in the ODIs? “Is he in shape?” Chopra tweeted on Sunday.
