Former selector dropped 2 big names from India's probable team for World Cup 2023
World Cup 2023: Former India selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has said that if he is a selector, he will definitely drop two players from the World Cup 2023 team. He said that I believe that these are the players who can win matches. But, if matches have to be won then there is a need for players like Yusuf Pathan, who has the ability to win matches on their own.
Former India selector and former opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth has expressed a big reaction regarding the ODI World Cup 2023. Srikkanth has said that if he is a selector, he will not include two players in the World Cup team. He said that I believe that these are the players who can win matches. But, if matches have to be won then players like Yusuf Pathan are required, who can win matches on their own. He said that even if these players win one or two matches, it is enough. Because you cannot expect consistency from these players.
In fact, according to former cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth, he would not like to include Shubman Gill and Shardul Thakur in the World Cup 2023 team. Let us inform you that after the recent BCCI meeting, it was revealed that 20 players have been selected for the ODI World Cup 2023. Now he will be rotated in the upcoming series. After this everyone is speculating which players are part of the 20-member squad and who is not.
Krishnamachari Srikkanth said during a conversation on Star Sports that there will be two players Shubman Gill and Shardul Thakur on the BCCI list, who will not be on my list. He said that when it comes to the medium pacer, he will go with Jaspreet Bumrah, Umran Malik, Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh. Four medium pacers are enough in the team. Although Shami can also be an option.
He said that this time I am talking not as a cricket fan, but as a chief selector. He said that he would prefer to give a chance to Deepak Hooda instead. Because these are the players who can win matches. If matches are to be won then players like Yusuf Pathan are required, who can win on their own. Even if he wins one or two matches, it is enough. Don't expect continuity from them.
