Moeen Ali urges India to recall T20 World Cup-winning captain Yadav

Summary

Moeen Ali has called on Team India to reinstate Suryakumar Yadav as captain after a disappointing 0-4 T20I series loss to England that resulted in India losing its No. 1 T20I ranking. India suffered a significant defeat in Southampton, where England scored 257 runs, marking a low point in India's recent performance. Captain Shreyas Iyer has won only one of his seven matches in charge, and Ali believes that bringing back Yadav would be a pivotal move for the team. The Indian selectors had replaced Yadav with Iyer for strategic reasons, but criticism has grown in light of the team's form during the series.
