Danish Kaneria, the former cricketer for Pakistan, believes that by leaving Yuzvendra Chahal off of their squad for the Asia Cup 2023, the Indian selectors made the right decision.
The decision to leave Yuzvendra Chahal from the forthcoming Asia Cup 2023 roster has stirred up quite a commotion on social media. Many individuals believe that this absence is a serious blunder and they’re discussing it widely. Surprisingly, despite his established skills, Chahal won’t be playing in this vital competition, which has raised quite a few eyebrows.
It’s worth emphasizing that Chahal didn’t get a single game and was sidelined during the whole three-match ODI series against the West Indies. Despite being an accomplished leg-spinner, he had the chance to compete in just two ODIs this year.
In the midst of this, the former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has voiced his support for BCCI’s choice to proceed with Kuldeep Yadav over Chahal. Kaneria observed that Yuzvendra Chahal’s previous exhibitions haven’t demonstrated steady performance. He also had great words to say about Kuldeep Yadav, showering him with admiration.
“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 said on his YouTube channel.
In the team announcement session, Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, was questioned about the exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal from the 17-member squad. In answer, he said that they had selected the wrist spinner only for this reason. Providing extra perspective to this pick, Ajit Agarkar, the head selector of BCCI, commented on the decision-making process and discussed the elements that affected this particular call.
“Chahal is undoubtedly a terrific performer, but we had to carefully consider the overall balance of the team. Accommodating two wrist spinners in the squad would have posed significant challenges,” Agarkar said during the team selection conference.
