Srikkanth&#8217;s scathing remarks highlight concerns of favoritism and biased selection practices within the cricketing hierarchy.<br \/>Expressing his dismay over Ruturaj Gaikwad&#8217;s omission, Srikkanth denounced the decision as he questioned the inclusion of <!-- -->Shubman Gill<!-- -->, despite his subpar performances across formats. <br \/>&#8220;There&#8217;s no doubt that Ruturaj Gaikwad deserves a place. He scored more than 500 runs in 17 T20I innings. Also he scored a century against Australia,&#8221; Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel. &#8220;Shubman Gill is totally out of form, but why is he selected in the team? Shubman Gill is the selectors&#8217; delight. He gets a chance even if he fails. He finds a place even if he fails in Test, ODIs and T20s. There&#8217;s too much favoritism in selection. The team selection is all about favoritism,&#8221; voiced Srikkanth, pointing out what he perceives as unjustifiable favoritism towards Gill.<br \/>Srikkanth&#8217;s criticism stems from Ruturaj Gaikwad&#8217;s impressive display in the IPL 2024 too, where he has emerged as the highest run-scorer with over 500 runs in 10 innings. Despite his stellar form, Ruturaj found himself snubbed from the national squad, raising eyebrows among cricket enthusiasts and pundits alike.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Srikkanth&#8217;s condemnation extended to the exclusion of <!-- -->Rinku Singh<!-- --> from the <!-- -->T20 World Cup squad<!-- -->, which he branded as &#8220;rubbish&#8221; selection. Drawing attention to Rinku&#8217;s pivotal contributions in challenging situations, particularly against Afghanistan in South Africa, Srikkanth lamented the selectors&#8217; oversight, accusing them of sacrificing deserving candidates for the sake of appeasement.<\/p>\n<p><h2>India&#8217;s squad for T20 World Cup 2024<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.<br \/><span class=\"strong\">Reserves:<\/span> Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n          var s = document.createElement('script');\n          s.src=\"https:\/\/survey.survicate.com\/workspaces\/0be6ae9845d14a7c8ff08a7a00bd9b21\/web_surveys.js\";\n          s.async = true;\n          var e = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];\n          e.parentNode.insertBefore(s, e);\n        })(window);\n      }\n    }\n    window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n    var TimesApps = window.TimesApps;\n    TimesApps.toiPlusEvents = function(config) {\n      var isConfigAvailable = \"toiplus_site_settings\" in f && \"isFBCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings && \"isGoogleCampaignActive\" in f.toiplus_site_settings;\n      var isPrimeUser = window.isPrime;\n      if (isConfigAvailable && !isPrimeUser) {\n        loadGtagEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n        loadFBEvents(f.toiplus_site_settings.isFBCampaignActive);\n        loadSurvicateJs(f.toiplus_site_settings.allowedSurvicateSections);\n      } else {\n        var JarvisUrl=\"https:\/\/vsp1jarvispvt.indiatimes.com\/v1\/feeds\/toi_plus\/site_settings\/643526e21443833f0c454615?db_env=published\";\n        window.getFromClient(JarvisUrl, function(config){\n          if (config) {\n            loadGtagEvents(config?.isGoogleCampaignActive);\n            loadFBEvents(config?.isFBCampaignActive);\n            loadSurvicateJs(config?.allowedSurvicateSections);\n          }\n        })\n      }\n    };\n  })(\n    window,\n    document,\n    'script',\n  );<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/icc-mens-t20-world-cup\/theres-too-much-favoritism-former-india-cricketer-slams-bcci-for-biased-selection-of-t20-world-cup-squad\/articleshow\/109770744.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth has launched a blistering critique against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for overlooking Chennai Super Kings&#8217; rising star Ruturaj Gaikwad in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 squad selection.
