Indian captain Rohit Sharma and BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed the queries about the 15-member Indian squad going for the T20 World Cup 2024 in a press conference. After the presser, Rohit returned to the Wankhede Stadium where match 51 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders and met the KKR's star batter, Rinku Singh.
Rohit Sharma meets Rinku Singh
Rinku Singh's exclusion from the 15-member squad raised a lot of questions. People from the cricket fraternity and fans questioned BCCI's decision to snub the dynamic finisher despite being one of the most consistent performers for India in T20Is.
KKR posted a picture of Rohit Sharma meeting Rinku ahead of their big clash on May 3 (Friday) and captioned it ‘always keep smiling’. Fans are sharing this picture at a rapid pace as this meeting took place after Rinku failed to make it into the T20 World Cup 2024.
Ajit Agarkar reveals reason behind Rinku Singh's snub
Ajit Agarkar opened up on why the board failed to include Rinku Singh in the 15-member squad. He acknowledged the fact that how tough and close it was to exclude Rinky. He revealed that they made this decision so the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma could have two wrist spinners in the Caribbean and US conditions.
“Rinku Singh exclusion was the toughest decision. It's got nothing to do with Rinku. We felt Rohit can have an extra spin option with two wrist spinners. He is in the reserves so that's how close he was,” said Ajit Agarkar during the press conference for India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
