The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup on Tuesday, and one of the most notable omissions was middle-order batsman Rinku Singh. Singh’s exclusion from the 15-man squad came as a surprise to many, as he had been in impressive form for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.
The news of Singh’s omission was met with widespread disappointment on social media, with many fans expressing their frustration at the decision. Some fans pointed to Singh’s impressive IPL record, while others questioned the BCCI’s selection criteria.
The BCCI has not yet released an official statement on Singh’s omission, but it is believed that the selectors opted for a more experienced squad. The squad includes a number of players who have played in previous World Cups, including captain Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Hardik Pandya, and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.
Singh will now have to wait for another opportunity to represent India at the international level. He will be hoping to continue his good form for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, and force his way into the national team’s plans for the future.
