Kaif questions India's decision to drop Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from fourth T20I
Former India batter Mohammad Kaif says regular game time would help the young batter build confidence.
Key facts
Story- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was left out of India's fourth T20I against the opposition.
- He had played the second and third T20Is in place of the injured Ishan Kishan.
- Mohammad Kaif said consistent chances would help the young player's confidence.
Former India batter Mohammad Kaif has questioned the team's decision to leave out Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from the fourth T20 international. He called the move "not good news" for the young batter.
Sooryavanshi played the second and third T20Is after Ishan Kishan was ruled out through injury. India went on to lead the five-match series 3-1 but lost the fourth match heavily. Who made the final call on the team, and what reason was given for dropping him, has not been made clear.
Kaif said the team management wants to groom Sooryavanshi and give him as much exposure at the national level as possible. In his view, regular chances are what help a young player grow in confidence. A break from the side after two games works against that aim, he argued.
The exact wording of Kaif's full remarks is not available, and it is not known whether the team has responded to his criticism.
India's next match and Sooryavanshi's place in it have not been announced. Whether he will return to the side for the remaining T20Is is not yet known.
