Due to this reason was not selected in T20I series against Bangladesh

Recently, Ruturaj Gaikwad was not selected for the T20I series played against Bangladesh, which surprised many cricket fans. The main reason for this is that the selectors are currently preparing him for Test cricket and are keeping him away from the T20 format. India has many experienced and young players in the T20 format, due to which Ruturaj may get a chance to play his role in the Test team for the time being. In such a situation, Irani is taking part in the cup.
