According to recent reports, a BCCI source said that Suryakumar Yadav‘s current concentration is on white-ball cricket, which is why he has not been included in India’s squad for the upcoming West Indies Tests. Suryakumar is a talented hitter who has frequently performed well in national tournaments.

Suryakumar Yadav has not played a Test since making his debut in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener against Australia earlier this year.

The decision to leave senior batsman Cheteshwar Pujara out of India’s Test line-up has sparked some debate among cricket fans. Pujara’s performance in the ICC World Test Championship final was sub-par, and the selectors decided to replace him with fresh faces such as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal. This move could be interpreted as an attempt to inject new energy into the team and try out new talent.

Another point of contention was Suryakumar Yadav’s exclusion from the India Test squad despite being named to the ODI squad. However, it must be remembered that selection processes can be complex and this decision can be motivated by a variety of factors. The selectors must have had their reasons for choosing the squad, and we must trust their criteria.

In cue ball formats, Surya is one of the most intriguing hitters of the current generation. He was in blistering form during the Indian Premier League (IPL) earlier this year, and some people thought he might have continued that form in the five-day format for India’s advantage.

“Suryakumar Yadav is not out of the test plans yet” – BCCI Official

According to a senior BCCI official, Suryakumar Yadav was dropped from the Indian test squad for the Caribbean trip because the team wants to test new players.

According to the referee, if Suryakumar had been chosen, he would have played ahead of Ruturaj or Yashasvi, which is not what the team management wanted. This choice may be sad for Suryakumar and his fans, but it is necessary for the team to experiment and provide opportunities for other players.

Suryakumar has been in fantastic form recently, consistently performing in domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League.

Why was SKY left out of the Indian Test team for the Caribbean tour? A senior BCCI official outlined the reason behind Suryakumar’s omission from InsideSport.

β€œIt is obvious that if Surya was in the team, he would have played ahead of Ruturaj or Yashasvi. And the team wants to try someone new. But Surya isn’t out of the test plans just yet. He is a very important player with the Asian Cup and World Cup coming up, so he should focus on white ball cricket for now. He will have his chance ”, explained the BCCI official.
