Injury Could Be Why Selectors Dropped Pandya As Captain, Says Pradeep Sangwan
Indian T20I: Former Delhi pacer Pradeep Sangwan thinks the reason the selectors picked Suryakumar Yadav as captain of the Indian T20I team in Sri Lanka over Hardik Pandya because the all-rounder had suffered an injury.
Sangwan, who played under Pandya when he was captain of the Gujarat Titans in 2022 and 2023, said injury issues and fitness could be the reason why the selectors opted for Suryakumar over Pandya.
"But it happens, once a player suffers an injury then the selectors have to decide about his availability. They want a player who is fully fit and available throughout the season," said Sangwan who has joined the Legends Intercontinental T20 and will represent Indo Kings in the upcoming season set to take place from August 16 to 28, 2024, at Moosa Stadium in Texas, USA.
