'Not Picking Rinku Singh Out Of World Cup Was The Toughest Thing' Ajit Agarkar Finds No Fault

Ajit Agarkar, chairman of selectors for the BCCI, stated that one of the most difficult decisions was to exclude Rinku Singh from India's 15-member T20 World Cup squad. India declared their crew on Tuesday (April 30) for the world occasion scheduled to occur in the USA and West Indies in June this year.

Ajit Agarkar And Rohit Sharma Answered All Queries

Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma addressed reporters at a Mumbai press conference two days after the squad was announced. Agarkar said Rinku did nothing off-base. Because they wanted more bowling options, the selectors were unable to select the dynamic left-hander in the final 15. The 26-year-old left-hander from Aligarh, who impressed the cricketing world with five sixes in an over during the previous IPL, was replaced in the main national team by Shivam Dube, but his name remained in the reserves.

Leaving Rinku Was The Toughest Thing - Agarkar

The most difficult topic to discuss is whether or not to select Rinku Singh. Rinku hasn't done anything wrong, nor has Shubman Gill. It's about the blends. We are not exactly certain about the circumstances. Therefore, we desired sufficient bowling options. We have picked several wrist spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, to give Rohit more choices. There's Axar (Patel), a bowling all-rounder. It's simply sad," Agarkar said on Thursday.

Nothing To Do With Him - Ajit Agarkar

However, Ajit Agarkar claimed that he had nothing to do with the decision not to include Rinku. It was a result of the mix the group the executives needed to track down the right equilibrium in the USA and West Indies. "I don't believe it has anything to do with him," I said. It's not Rinku Singh's issue that he has passed up a great opportunity. With two attendants who are both stupendous hitters, there's as of now an additional player sitting. So we considered having an additional bowling choice.
