Regarding the selection of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2026, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar has given a statement on the non-inclusion of Shubman Gill. According to Agarkar, the reason for not including Shubman Gill in the team is not his quality but the combination of the team. He clarified that Gill was not fitting into the team combination. This decision has come when some time ago Surya Kumar Yadav had described Shubman Gill as the best option for opening. This statement of Agarkar has raised questions on the policies of the selectors, especially in the context of making Gill the vice-captain and the previous theory of making the same player the captain in different formats. There is a contradiction between the earlier statements of the selectors and today’s decision.
