Former India cricketer Parthiv Patel has discovered Axar Patel’s non-selection within the Asia Cup squad shocking. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Patel stated that Axar had delivered each time he was performed within the nationwide colors and had completed no matter was requested of him.
“Another surprising exclusion for me was that of Axar Patel. He has delivered for the team whenever they wanted and did whatever was asked out of him,” Patel stated on his official YouTube channel.
“I think they tried Ashwin at the last World Cup and if they need off-spin in Australia then they have the option of Hooda. So, as a backup for Jadeja, Axar should have been picked,” he argued additional.
Speaking concerning the squad choice, Patel agreed with the overall opinion that India had chosen one much less pacer within the workforce.
“India has gone in with four spinners, which is a bit surprising given the conditions in the UAE. They have chosen just three seamers, which I feel is one short. They should have gone with three spinners and four seamers as we saw when IPL was played here that the pacers got a bit of help,” stated Parthiv.
India had been anticipated to play a full power workforce within the Asia Cup for his or her preparations of the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted later in Australia. However, accidents to Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel dented that risk. All eyes might be on Virat Kohli and KL Rahul after they return to the workforce as India will look to resolve the problems that they dedicated within the World Cup 2021.
