NEW DELHI: Yuzvendra Chahal not being picked by the selectors for the upcoming Asia Cup has been an enormous speaking level within the final one week.
Many former Indian cricketers have come out in help of Chahal, questioning the choice of the Ajit Agarkar-led committee.
However former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria feels that the selectors made the proper name of not choosing Chahal for the Asia Cup as he has been fairly inconsistent.
“Yuzvendra Chahal doesn’t deserve to be in Team India right now. He has been very inconsistent. Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, has picked up wickets regularly and can be effective in the middle overs. The selectors took the right call by going with Kuldeep over Chahal,” Kaneria mentioned on his YouTube channel.
India’s squad for the Asia Cup has Kuldeep because the lone wrist spinner.
Earlier, former India cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Madal Lal expressed their shock and issues over the absence of Chahal from the India squad.
“The one thing I feel is lacking in the team is the absence of Yuzvendra Chahal. A leg-spinner who can get the ball to turn away. If you talk about genuine spinners, I don’t think there’s any spinner in India better than Chahal in white-ball formats. Yes, his last few games weren’t good, but that doesn’t make him a bad bowler,” mentioned Harbhajan.
“I was a little surprised about Yuzvendra Chahal, Ashwin is not there either,” mentioned Madan Lal.
India start their Asia Cup marketing campaign towards arch-rivals Pakistan from September 2 in Pallekele.
