'It’s The Combination More Than Anything Else', Says Agarkar On Gill’s Axing From T20 WC Squad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Team India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 was announced on Saturday, with a major shock coming in the form of Shubman Gill being dropped from the side. Axar Patel took his position as the vice-captain, while Ishan Kishan made a dream comeback to the international setup.
The other change in the squad saw Jitesh Sharma being dropped to make way for Rinku Singh. With Gill out of the side, Sanju Samson will return to the top of the order for India and will likely keep the gloves after his impressive performance in the recently concluded fifth T20I against South Africa on Friday.
In a joint press conference held at the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) headquarters here, secretary Devajit Saikia, India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed the media.
