IND vs SA: 3 Indian Players Who Didn't Deserve A Spot In India Squad vs South Africa

IND vs SA: 3 Indian Players Who Didn’t Deserve A Spot In India Squad vs South Africa. The BCCI earlier today announced the Test squad for the one-off Test against England and the T20I squads for the five-match T20I squad against South Africa.

The  IND vs SA T20I series will be played between June 9 to 19 across five different venues starting with the first T20I in Delhi. The following four games will be held at Cuttack, Vishakhapatnam, Rajkot, and Bangalore on June 12, June 14, June 17, and June 19 respectively.

The Test squad saw the return of Cheteshwar Pujara while the T20I squad for South Africa saw a few players being included despite not having a good IPL 2022 season. The overall T20I squad looks a formidable one with good balance in all three departments of the game. In this article, we take a look at three players who did not deserve a spot in the Indian T20I side for the IND vs SA series.

IND vs SA: 3 Indian Players Who Didn’t Deserve A Spot In India Squad vs South Africa

Venkatesh Iyer

The southpaw had a forgetful IPL 2022 batting at the top of the order for Kolkata Knight Riders. He finished the season with 182 runs from 12 matches with just one fifty-plus score the season. He was not used regularly with the ball as well. It is doubtful that Iyer will get too many opportunities with the kind of presence of the other Indian players.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer scored over 400 runs in IPL 2022 but did not look settled with the bat throughout the tournament. His captaincy and management of his players were questionable as was his inconsistency with the bat. With the Indian team having better options available for the number four position, Iyer’s selection in the squad is definitely questionable.

Axar Patel

The left-arm spinner did not have the best IPL season as per his standards. He ended the season with six wickets and 182 runs with the bat. Given that the squad already has Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravi Bishnoi, how the management will use Axar’s potential as a player is to be seen.
