Internet Desk:T20 World Cup 2026 Indian team selection has surprised cricket fans as well as everyone. In particular, Shubman Gill, who is acting as the vice captain, was not selected by the Indian team management. Sanju Samson was chosen as the opener in his place. Also, the selectors did not select Jitesh Sharma, who acted as wicket keeper in the T20 against South Africa. In his place, Ishan Kishan, who is performing brilliantly in the domestic tournament, has been given a place in the team. Now let's find out the reason for not selecting Gill..

BCCI on Saturday announced the Indian team that will play in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. After this meeting, India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar revealed the details of the 15-member Indian T20 World Cup squad. Ajit Agarkar said that Shubman Gill has been kept aside as part of the team composition. He said that only 15 players can be selected in the team and in such a case someone has to be removed from the team. Shubman said that everyone knows what a quality player Gill is and currently he is struggling with poor form. Agarkar clarified that he did not get a place in the T20 team due to different combinations in the last T20 World Cup and team combination is more important than the player.

This time also Shubman Gill had to be left out as part of the team combination and he revealed that only 15 players could be selected. Ajit Agarkar also said many things about the vice captain. Shubman said that Akshar Patel acted as the vice-captain in T20s in Gill's absence, and since Gill is not available even now, that responsibility has been handed over to Akshar. He said that he took Ishan Kishan thinking that he wanted to be a wicket keeper who would play in Taparder. Ajit Agarkar statement revealed that he is currently in super form and can also excel as an opener.
