Ajit Agarkar opens up on Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s omission from T20Is and Sanju Samson from ODIs

Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed the press conference before the departure for the Sri Lanka tour on Monday, July 22. It was the first time that Gambhir addressed the media after becoming the new head coach while Agarkar also spoke in detail about some pertaining questions regarding the T20 and ODI squads announced for the white-ball tour. One of the key takeaways from the squads was the omission of players despite the performance in recent times.

Responding to a reporter’s question specifically about Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad, Agarkar said, “Every player who’s left out feels hard done by. Our challenge is to pick only 15. You try and get the best balance possible. So someone’s likely to miss out. Sometimes, they have had decent performances in recent times but you’ve got to see who is picked ahead of them. Are those guys not deserving of their place? If that’s the case, then there are things to discuss.”
