‘It seems like it won’t…’, Aakash Chopra on Shikhar’s ICC WC chances

Ex-Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra made a strong case for Shikhar Dhawan’s inclusion in the squad for ICC World Cup 2023 but added that it looks highly unlikely that the veteran left-hander will be considered.

Aakash said on his YouTube channel –

“Shikhi boy’s name should have been on this list but it seems like it won’t be there because his name is not there for the West Indies tour as well and you didn’t put his name for the Asian Games too.

“Aisa lagta hain ke team ne mooh mod sa liya hain (So it seems like the team has turned away from him).

Aakash added – “When he played the last World Cup, he had a fracture and went out but not before scoring a century in that match as well. There is no competition for him in ODI cricket but at this point in time it doesn’t look like the Indian selectors or team management are thinking about him at all.”

Aakash further said –

“It is like you are doing very well but suddenly someone comes and because he is a three-format player and is doing well in multiple places, he goes ahead of you. You say – ‘I never lost in the race but what happened actually? Some other player won some other race, so why was I dropped?”
