Captain In T20Is, But Doubts Over Suryakumar Yadav's ODI Future? BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar Answers

Suryakumar Yadav was the main talking point when India's squad for the Sri Lanka Tour was announced. The star batter was named the captain ahead of India's T20 World Cup vice-captain Hardik Pandya. BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir on Monday elaborated on the plan behind making Yadav the skipper of the T20I team, and not Pandya. "You (would) want a captain that's going to be more likely to play all the games. Why Surya was made captain? Because he is one of the deserving candidates. The one we know has been around the dressing room over the last one year, you get feedback from the dressing room a lot.He has got a good cricketing brain and he is still one of the best T20 batters in the world," Agarkar elaborated before the team's departure for Sri Lanka.

Butt added that the comments made by Shami were 'wrong' and even went on to say that it was a 'dirty hit' on Inzamam.

What Ajit Agarkar, Gautam Gambhir Told Ravindra Jadeja Before Picking Squad For SL ODIs

As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squads for the tour of Sri Lanka, some bold decisions were taken. The decision to pick Suryakumar Yadav over Hardik Pandya as the T20I skipper left many stunned while the absence of Ravindra Jadeja from the ODI side was another head-scratcher.
