Ashwin criticizes India selectors for dropping Yadav from T20 squad

Ravichandran Ashwin has spoken out against the Board of Control for Cricket in India's decision to exclude Suryakumar Yadav from the T20I squads ahead of tours to England and Ireland. Yadav, who recently captained India to a T20 World Cup title, lost both his captaincy and spot in the team. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar stated that the decision was influenced by Yadav's recent form and the team's long-term strategies. Ashwin expressed surprise, arguing Yadav deserved a chance to prove himself in the upcoming series. He emphasized the importance of considering Yadav's leadership role and contributions in prior successes.
