IND vs NZ: ‘Why Prithvi Shaw is…?’, Aakash Chopra points at poor decisions taken by BCCI selectors, Read here
Former Indian cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra criticised the BCCI selectors on Friday, questioning the some calls taken recently.
When India squad for New Zealand was announced, Prtihvi Shaw’s name was missing. Shaw has made tons of runs in domestic cricket.
And has not cut down his strike rate even one bit but despite good performances, he has been constantly ignored. Interestingly, Shubman Gill has been.
Given a chance for the IND vs NZ T20Is. Aakash said that it is surprise that Shaw has not made it to the T20I side yet. “The more you look.
At the current India squad for the #NzvInd series, the more you wonder why Prithvi Shaw isn’t a part of it. You want to change the style of play in PP overs.
This is THE opportunity to play the guy who’s naturally destructive,” tweeted Aakash Chopra. “Also, Indian selectors will have to take a call.
With regards to picking the IPL performers. All of them bat in the top-3 but for India, we want them to play a radically different role. How’s that fair?,” he further wrote.

India in some capacity. Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Umran Malik are exciting names.
But it seems the time has ended for Shaw in T20Is as even his runs do not ensure his selection.
