    Gill Axed, Axar Named Vice-captain; Ishan Returns As India Name T20 WC Squad

    By IANS News December 20, 2025 • 14:32 PM View: 221
    BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: In a surprising development, defending champions India have left out Shubman Gill from its squad for next year’s T20 World Cup and T20Is against New Zealand. In the squad announced by BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, captain Suryakumar Yadav and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, Axar Patel has been named as the vice-captain.

    Apart from Gill, wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma misses out as Ishan Kishan makes a stunning return to the team, following his explosive form leading Jharkhand to a recent Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win. Meanwhie, Rinku Singh also makes his return to the T20I team after missing out on the 3-1 series win in South Africa.

    “We are looking at combinations. Our thought was to have another keeper. Gill is a quality player, unfortunate to miss out, but it is the combination we want. Ishan bats at the top, he has been in good form, and played before for India.
