In a significant development for Indian cricket, BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar announced the squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, confirming the exclusion of star batter Shubman Gill. Addressing the media, Agarkar explained that the decision was driven by team ‘combinations’ and the preference for a wicketkeeper-batter at the top of the order. Consequently, Axar Patel has been reappointed as the vice-captain. Agarkar stated, ‘Someone has to miss out when you pick 15. And unfortunately, it’s Gill at this point.’ The squad also sees the inclusion of Rinku Singh and the return of Ishan Kishan, while Suryakumar Yadav continues to lead the side. The Chief Selector emphasized that the management wanted flexibility and depth, highlighting the role of all-rounders and wrist spinners in the upcoming tournament.
