Former captain Sourav Ganguly expressed surprise about the composition of the Indian teams for the West Indies tour. Ganguly felt that young Shubman Gill and the experienced Ajinkya Rahane should have been included in the ODI squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against West Indies.
Ganguly tweeted, “There are many in the squad who can play all formats.. Surprised not to see Shubman Gill. Rahane in the one-day squad.”
The former captain further urged the selectors to pick the same players across formats, to help confidence and rhythm.
“Time has come for Indian selectors to pick same players in all formats of the game for rhythm and confidence. Too few are playing in all formats. Great teams had consistent players. It’s not about making all happy but picking the best for the country and be consistent. @bcci,” Ganguly tweeted.
India announced the squads for the upcoming T20Is, ODIs and Test match series against West Indies on Sunday.
India will tour West Indies for three T20Is and as many ODIs, and two Tests which are part of World Test Championship from 3 August to 3 September.
