Would Have Got Jaiswal And Jitesh In Place Of Ishan And Washington, Says Jaffer
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India opener Wasim Jaffer said he would have preferred Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jitesh Sharma to be included in the squad for 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup in place of Ishan Kishan and Washington Sundar.
Jaffer’s remarks come after India axed Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill on Saturday from the squad for their T20 World Cup title defence and a preparatory five-game series against New Zealand.
All-rounder Axar Patel was named as vice-captain, while wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan was rewarded for his stellar form in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with a spot in the 15-member squad. Rinku Singh also returned to the team at Jitesh’s expense, especially with India having two keeper-batters who can open the innings.
