Bit short of runs at the moment, but he is quality player: Agarkar on Shubman Gill's omission from T20 squad

India announced its squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 and T20I series against New Zealand. Shubman Gill was surprisingly left out despite his vice-captaincy. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar cited form and the need for two wicketkeeping options at the top. Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson will be the wicketkeeping choices. Abhishek Sharma will open with Samson.
