Internet Desk: It is known that the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2026 was announced on Saturday. Star batter Shubman Gill did not get a place in this. Even the cricket pundits did not expect that the selectors did not choose Gill as a stand-by, who is the captain of the current Test and ODI formats and vice-captain of T20. The BCCI announced this decision while Gill is also preparing to play in the New Zealand series and the World Cup. But there are reports that Gill (Shubman Gill) already knew that he would be targeted.

Gill was not in the team for the last two T20Is against South Africa due to an injury to his right foot. The selection committee meeting was held while leaving Ahmedabad for Chandigarh on Saturday. Shortly before the announcement of the team, Gill received a call from the BCCI. He said that he was removed from the team. Cric Buzz has mentioned this in its article. But the issue of who told Gill about this matter did not come out.

Gill was ready to play T20 against South Africa with the first injury. But he retreated after doctors warned him that if he gets on the field, it will get worse and he will have to stay away from important tournaments. After that BCCI also confirmed his injury. Gill sustained the injury during a net practice on December 16 in Lucknow. This gave Sanju an opportunity to play in the team.
