World Cup Winner Names Star Missing From South Africa Tour Says BCCI Selectors "Shouldn't Forget Him"
After the T20I series against Australia, the Indian cricket team will start on a tough tour of South Africa, as the country is always a difficult place to tour. The Indian cricket team will play three ODIs, three T20Is, and three Tests. This will be one of the first times that the Indian cricket team will be led by three different captains in the three formats. Rohit Sharma will lead in the Test series, while KL Rahul will take over in the ODIs. Suryakumar Yadav will be the India captain in the T20I series.
The white-ball side bears a distinct look, as most youngsters have been given a chance. In that respect, it's a fresh approach by the BCCI selectors.
Ashish Nehra said, "I am not at all surprised that the selectors have picked three different teams. Pretty much everyone's name has come. There might be hardly any player who is there or thereabouts whose name is not there.”
The former fast bowler of the Indian cricket team, also associated with the Gujarat Titans as coach, went on to say that Bhuvneshwar Kumar was one bowler who could have gotten a look-in keeping in mind the conditions in South Africa.
Nehra added, "Only one name comes to mind, because you are going to South Africa, and you have picked a lot of fast bowlers, and that name is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I understand that you have other new-ball options; you have Arshdeep Singh, and Mukesh Kumar is playing.”
