Jaffer Questions Sundar's T20I Role

Wasim Jaffer expresses surprise over Washington Sundar's T20I selection and discusses India's bowling concerns. Read more about potential team changes.

Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has voiced his surprise regarding Washington Sundar's persistent selection in the national T20I team. Following India's loss in the fourth T20I against England, Jaffer critically examined Sundar's place in the squad.

Jaffer highlighted that Sundar lacks a defined role as a finisher and does not fit into the top order. Furthermore, he pointed out that Sundar is not a bowler who can be relied upon to complete his full quota of four overs consistently. This lack of a clear role and bowling assurance makes Sundar's selection a continued puzzle for Jaffer.

Beyond Sundar, Jaffer also addressed concerns surrounding India's overall bowling attack. He suggested that in the absence of the injured Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav or Shivang Kumar should be considered for the spin department. Jaffer emphasized the need for two effective spinners to build pressure in the middle overs, a combination he feels is currently lacking. On the pace front, he noted Prasidh Krishna's expensive economy rate and questioned Mohammed Siraj's omission, proposing Rasikh Salam and Sakib Hussain as potential alternatives.

The Indian team is scheduled to play their final T20I against England on Saturday, July 11.
