Why Rinku Singh is being overlooked by selectors for T20I series against West Indies? | WIvsIND
Xtra Time Web Desk: The exclusion of Rinku Singh from the Indian T20 squad for the series against West Indies has raised questions about the reasons behind his omission. Rinku Singh gained attention during the IPL 2023 season with his dynamic and destructive batting performances for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
It is speculated that Rinku was not selected in the squad due to an injury. Currently, he is reported to be at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), focusing on improving his fitness. If this is the case, his omission could be attributed to his incomplete recovery and the need for him to regain his full fitness before returning to international cricket.
Furthermore, considering the short time gap between the last T20I in Florida and the upcoming series in Ireland, it is possible that players like Rinku Singh, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Jitesh Sharma, and Shivam Mavi may be included in the squad for the Ireland tour. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to announce the squad for the Asian Games soon, as the deadline for submission set by the Olympic Council of Asia is July 15.
While fans are disappointed with Rinku's exclusion, there may be valid reasons behind the decision, such as concerns over his fitness and the need for proper recovery. Ultimately, the BCCI and the team management aim to select the most competitive and well-prepared squad for the upcoming series and tournaments.
