When the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unveils a squad for a major tournament, it’s almost expected that some players’ exclusions will ignite debates. However, Sunil Gavaskar has taken a stand on the recent squad announcement for the Asia Cup, particularly concerning the exclusion of R Ashwin. He’s urging fans to steer clear of such controversies.
India recently revealed a 17-member squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, which marked the comeback of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul to the international scene post their recovery from injuries. The selectors also put their faith in Tilak Varma. However, the omission of key spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin stirred up a debate among fans. Opinions were split on whether the decision was justified.
Sunil Gavaskar, the former Indian cricket legend, has shared his thoughts on the matter. He emphasized that fans should avoid getting tangled up in debates about team selection. Gavaskar pointed out that discussions about including or excluding players are always going to happen, but it’s crucial for fans to lend their support to the Indian team and not get caught up in these debates.
