Mumbai: Rohit Sharma has been picked by the BCCI selectors for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan. And after that, Sanjay Manjrekar criticized them. A player as old as Rohit, who is currently IPLHe is playing as an impact player, he has also questioned the rationale behind his selection. Manjrekar even questioned why young and in-form players were left out. The selection committee members also sent an apology message to Jaiswal.

Manjrekar basically highlighted two names in his speech. Yasswi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan. These two youngsters were not included in the ODI series team. Manjrekar was surprised to see that. 39 years old Rohit He is in the twilight of his career. The ex-Indian cricketer did not find it logical that how the former India captain was included in the team in this situation.

Manjrekar said, ‘Sai Sudarshan has played four innings in ODI cricket for India, scoring three fifties out of them. Jasswi Jaiswal’s last innings was an unbeaten 116. Yet these guys are not playing for India. Instead, the selectors opted for an experienced player whose fitness is questionable and who is clearly out of form. Now explain it to me. What is the reasoning behind this? What is its vision?’

Manjrekar strongly believes that the 24-year-old batsman belongs to Jaiswal Indian teamShould have got a chance to open in the one day format in the jersey of Afghanistan series. Manjrekar wants to see Shubman Gill, Sai Sudarshan and Yasswi Jaiswal as regulars in the national ODI team. The former Indian cricketer was so angry with the selection committee that he said, ‘If the selection committee has to compromise for some reason and select Rohit Sharma, the first thing to do should be to pick up the phone and call Jaiswal and apologise. The young player has performed exceptionally well at the toughest stage of Test cricket. He is only 24 years old, is in his prime and has a bright future ahead of him. The same applies to Sai Sudarshan. Players like Gill, Sudarshan and Jaiswal are perfectly suited to be India’s top three batsmen in ODI cricket.’
