Is Shikhar Dhawan’s career over, after the announcement of Team India for Asian Games, there are indications

Team India has been announced for the Asian Games. The BCCI had already agreed to send its women’s and men’s teams to the Asian Games. However, speculations were already rife that the BCCI would send a second-rate team to the Asian Games. This is because the tournament is being held from 23 September to 8 October. At the same time, the World Cup is starting in India from 5 October. The main team has been kept for the World Cup. While a new team is being sent to the Asian Games. The team has also been announced for this. However, the way in which the possibilities were being expressed about the team, it has not happened at all.

 

Team India is a complete newcomer to the Asian Games, led by Rituraj Gaikwad, the swashbuckler of the Chennai Super Kings. Earlier it was being claimed that under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan, Team India can play in the Asian Games. However, this has not happened. After this the discussion has started whether Shikhar Dhawan has been given a message from the BCCI that the doors of Team India are closed for him? The decision of the selection committee is surprising the fans. Shikhar Dhawan last played against Bangladesh in November-December last year. Since then he is out in Team India. This also indicated that the BCCI is currently not considering Shikhar Dhawan as part of the World Cup.

This is the reason that in view of Shikhar Dhawan’s experience and old record, it was being said that Team India would be included under his leadership in the Asian Games. But the team announced by the BCCI has surprised everyone. Apart from this, Prithvi Shaw has also not been given a chance in the Asian Games. Also, Arshdeep Singh has been included in the Asian Games squad, which has now led to speculations that he will not be a part of Team India in the World Cup.

 

Ruturaj Gaikwad was named captain of the Indian cricket team for the Hangzhou Asian Games while IPL star Rinku Singh also found a place in the team. Since the Asian Games are to be held during the ODI World Cup, the B team has been selected. Cricket was last played at the Asian Games in 2014 when India did not participate. Team India: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma, Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi, Shivam Dubey, Prabhsimran Singh . Standby: Yash Thakur, Sai Kishore, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Sai Sudarshan.
