Yuzvendra Chahal

Former Indian cricket team spinner Harbhajan Singh expressed his dismay at the surprising omission of Yuzvendra Chahal from India’s squad for the ODI series against Australia and the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023. In a candid analysis, Harbhajan speculated on the reasons behind Chahal’s absence, suggesting that it might be due to a conflict or a verbal exchange with someone that negatively impacted his selection prospects.

Perplexing Omission

Harbhajan questioned the decision not to include Chahal in the squad, given his exceptional skills. He remarked, “Yuzvendra Chahal should have been here. He has not been given an opportunity. It is beyond my understanding. Either he has fought with someone or he has said something to someone, I don’t know. If we talk only about skill, his name should have been there in this team because a lot of Team India players are resting,” as he shared on his official YouTube channel.

A Search for Off-Spinners

Harbhajan also highlighted the unconventional additions of Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin to the squad. Notably, neither player was initially part of the team’s plans. Harbhajan suggested that this shift could indicate that the team management is actively seeking an off-spinner.

“First Washington Sundar, who wasn’t in the original Asia Cup squad, was called there. After that, a second player has been added for this series and that is R Ashwin. So somewhere or the other Team India are searching for off-spinners. They have probably realized their mistake that they haven’t picked an off-spinner in the team and that our bowlers can get into trouble if a lot of left-handers come in front of them. Why unnecessarily go through all this? It is beyond my understanding or they are going to make another mistake to rectify their earlier mistake,” Harbhajan concluded.
