NEW DELHI: Former chairman of the choice committee Kris Srikkanth on Tuesday expressed his disappointment over the number of injured KL Rahul for the upcoming Asia Cup.
The BCCI choice committee headed by Ajit Agarkar on Monday introduced the 17-member squad for the event.
Rahul, who recovered from a thigh damage he sustained throughout IPL, lately developed a niggle unrelated to his authentic damage however regardless of that the choice committee included him within the Asia Cup squad.
The niggle makes Rahul a uncertain starter for India’s opening recreation towards Pakistan on September 2.
Questioning the choice coverage, Srikkanth slammed the Agarkar-led panel and confused that on the truth that injured Rahul should not have been a part of the staff.
“It is being stated that KL Rahul has a niggle. When you have a niggle, do not decide him within the squad. If a participant is just not match throughout choice, you should not decide him. That was our coverage. On the day of choice, if a participant is just not match, do not choose him. If you wish to decide him for the World Cup, choose him for the World Cup. That is a unique situation. Now they’re saying that he may play after a few matches and that is why we now have picked Sanju Samson as a travelling reserve. What’s all this,” Srikkanth stated in a video on his YouTube channel.
Within the choice press convention, Agarkar defined the choice to incorporate Rahul, saying it was vital for 31-year-old to get sufficient recreation time forward of the ODI World Cup in India.
