T20 WC India Team: Team selection in the press conference of Rohit and Agarkar

Why was KL Rahul removed?: Ajit Agkarkar said- We needed a player in the middle. KL is batting on top. Sanju has performed well and Rishabh Pant is also batting at number 5. It is not about who is better and who is not, but Pant and Sanju have spent more time batting lower down the order.

Why was Rinku Singh not selected?: Agarkar said, Rinku Singh has not done anything wrong. The most difficult decision was to exclude Rinku. It's not their fault. This is unfortunate.

Hardik's form not a matter of concern?: Ajit Agarkar said that he has returned after a long leave. We have more than a month to go before MI's first match. We know what he brings and how much balance he brings to the team.

Is Shivam Dubey's selection based on IPL?: Captain Rohit Sharma said, our top order bats aggressively and it is not bad. We wanted someone to play a similar role in the middle overs and play freely. We selected Shivam Dubey based on his performance in the IPL. We talked about it and chose him.

Why bet on four spinners and three pacers?: Rohit Sharma said that I definitely wanted four spinners. We have played a lot of cricket in West Indies. We know the conditions and the match will start at 10-10.30 am. There is quite a technical aspect involved. I am not going to tell the reason publicly right now. Want to field Hardik as a fast bowling all-rounder. Axar and Jadeja also bat well and Kuldeep and Chahal are aggressive spinners who give us good balance.
