“This is quite interesting and I don’t know the answer why it happens. Why the team is announced at 11 in the night? Selectors can meet in the morning, it can be done by the evening.

The former Indian opener also noted how selectors are avoiding interacting with the press while announcing squads. As a result, no one can question them over their selections.

“And there’s another formula that has been started. Selectors don’t interact with the press. You’ve announced the team and now nobody can question you the reason behind the selection or non-selection of players, what your thought process is,” Aakash Chopra further added.
