Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar said that the selectors have rectified their mistake by leaving out vice-captain Shubman Gill from the T20 World Cup squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manjrekar explained the reason behind his point in a video shared by him on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI look at Shubman Gill\u2019s non-selection in the Indian T20 World Cup squad as a mistake that the selectors have rectified. Let me explain. India had that tremendous tour of England, and Shubman Gill was the star in the way he batted. So there was a lot of excitement then. Indian cricket was in a happy place. Shubman Gill was the name, wasn\u2019t he?\u201d said Manjrekar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd immediately he was made the captain of the one-day team. And in that excitement, he also got into the Indian T20 team. Now, that was a mistake. And at the time, I said that as well, because, I mean, there was nothing that he had done at that time to prove that, you know, he\u2019s a sensational T20 player.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India\u2019s squad for the T20I World Cup was announced on December 20 and, to everyone\u2019s surprise, Gill was excluded. The 25-year-old made a comeback to the T20I team this year but was unable to perform consistently. He played 15 matches since his comeback, scoring 291 runs without a single half-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manjrekar believes nobody should be picked in a format based on performances in a different format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust based on his Test success in England, he was picked for the Indian T20 squad. So that was a mistake. And that\u2019s what the selectors have done now. They\u2019ve rectified that mistake by not having Shubman Gill in this T20 team for the World Cup for India. And I just hope now that a lesson has been learned, that this sport has three formats,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
