Souryakumar has no place in ODI team: Indian chief selector

Indian chief selector

Indian cricket team chief selector Ajit Agarkar has clarified that India’s T20 captain, Suryakumar Yadav, is unsuitable for the ODI side.

Former Indian pacer, in a press conference before India’s departure to Sri Lanka, said, “The fact is that Suryauumar’s name has not been discussed for the ODI squad as the team management is satisfied with Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Rishabh Bachchan in the middle order. We didn’t think about Suriya’s inclusion in the ODI squad then; Shreyas and KL Rahul are back; they did well in the ODI World Cup.”

Ajit said, “Rishabh Pant is also in good form, so our middle order is quality; Surya is only a T20 player now.”
