Team India has to play a 5-match T20 series against England from January 22. BCCI has announced the squad of the Indian team for this series. A total of 15 players have been selected in this team playing under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. But the name of young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is not included in this team. Yashasvi Jaiswal had recently performed amazingly on the Australia tour. In such a situation, a former Indian player has raised questions on Jaiswal not being selected in the team.

Questions raised over Jaiswal not getting a place

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has raised questions over Yashasvi Jaiswal not getting a place in the team for the T20 series. Aakash Chopra believes that Jaiswal should have got a chance in this series, otherwise his break would be very long. He believes that if Jaiswal is selected for the Champions Trophy, then he would not have played any competitive cricket for 45 days, because it would be difficult for him to get a chance to play even in the ODI series against England.

Aakash Chopra made a post on social media and wrote, 'Yashasvi not being selected for the T20 series is a bit surprising. He will remain in the ODI team but will not get a chance to play against England. Rohit-Gil will open. He can also be selected for the Champions Trophy. But by the time the tournament starts, he will not have played any competitive cricket for 45 days. I would say the long Border-Gavaskar trophy is fine, but he is young and he is a batsman. Play as much as possible.

Yashasvi's non-selection for the T20i series is a little perplexing. Hell be in the ODI squad but won't get to play vs England. Rohit-Gill to open.
Might be picked for CT toobut ​​by the time the tournament starts, he wouldn't have played any competitive cricket for 45 days.

Big contenders for Champions Trophy

The last one year in international cricket has been very memorable for Yashasvi Jaiswal. He has emerged as a big match winner of the Indian team. But Yashasvi Jaiswal has not yet made his ODI debut for Team India. Despite all this, it is believed that he will be selected in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy. If this happens, then he can also be selected for the ODI series against England, which is to be played before this tournament. 3 matches will be played in this series. During this time he may also get a chance to debut.
