'I Respect Selectors’ Decision': Shubman Gill's Straightforward Response On T20 World Cup Snub
Gill, who served as vice-captain of the T20I team since Gautam Gambhir's appointment as head coach, was excluded from India’s 15-member squad for the 20-over World Cup, scheduled to begin from February 7, with Axar Patel being named Suryakumar Yadav’s deputy.
“It is my belief that I am right where I am supposed to be in my life. Whatever is written in my destiny, nobody can take that away from me. As a player, I want to play in World Cups and win games for my team. But having said that, I respect the selectors’ decision. I wish the T20 team all the very best. I hope they win the World Cup,” Gill said, addressing the media in a pre-match press conference ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand here at the BCA (Kotambi) Stadium.
