IND vs WI: Ruturaj Gaikwad & Sarfaraz Khan
The Indian cricket team will tour the West Indies in July (India tour of West Indies 2023). It will start with the Test series, the first Test will be played from 12 July. The BCCI has announced the squad for the Test and ODI series on Friday. Many people are raising questions on this selection, a name of former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has also been added to it. Through social media, Wasim questioned the selection for not keeping Sarfaraz Khan in the team and keeping Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Wasim Jaffer raised 3 questions on social media. In the first point, he questioned the non-selection of Sarfaraz Khan.
He wrote – What is the need to keep 4 opener batsmen in the team? While he could have picked Sarfaraz Khan for the middle order who has done well in domestic cricket. After this he questioned the selection of Rituraj Gaikwad. – Wasim Jaffer
Why priority to Ruturaj Gaikwad
“Easwaran and Panchal have been playing Ranji cricket and India A consistently and working hard to find their places in Tests. Just because he doesn’t play in IPL, you don’t even keep him in your mind. How Rituraj Gaikwad came to the front of the line. Wasim Jaffer
Let us tell you that Rituraj Gaikwad has been given a place in both the ODI and Test squads for the West Indies tour. Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara, Umesh Yadav have been kept out of the squad. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami has not been given a place in neither the ODI nor the Test squad. Wasim Jaffer also raised questions on keeping Shami out.
It is surprising that Mohammed Shami has got a break, while there is already a break of one month. I think he is such a bowler that the more he bowls, the better and in form he will get. – Wasim Jaffer
