India has always been the giants of cricket. The reason behind the dominance of India in the world of cricket is talented and quality players. The country has a plenty of cricketers who have the ability to play at the international level. However, this large availability of deserving players is a major cause of headache for the selectors. There is a limit on the number of players in a squad which is generally fifteen to eighteen. Whenever the squad of Indian Cricket Team is announced for any tournament or series, one or two deserving players fail to get a place in the team. Many a times, even the popular and experienced players didn’t get a place in the squad. In the recent times, Deepak Chahar is that one popular name who failed to get a place in the Indian team. Let’s see Why Deepak Chahar is not playing in T20 World Cup?
Why Deepak Chahar is not playing in T20 World Cup 2024?
Deepak Chahar has been an important player for the Chennai Super Kings over the years. He has been the team’s leading wicket-taker in the last two seasons and has often bowled in the powerplay overs, providing crucial breakthroughs to the team.
Deepak Chahar is not playing in T20 World Cup because he didn’t get a place in the squad selected by BCCI. Chahar has been out of ground for a long time because of injuries. This is the reason why the selectors picked other pacers over him.
Last year also, Chahar sustained an injury which ruled him out of the World Cup. Initially, he did not get a place in the 15-member squad of India. He was kept in the list of standby players. The selectors did not pick him in the main squad because he was injured for most of the time and did not play sufficient cricket in 2022.
Chahar’s absence from the playing XI is a significant blow for the team, as they would be missing out on his impressive swing bowling skills. However, the team management would want to prioritize Chahar’s fitness over his availability for the match, as his absence could prove to be a long-term setback for the team.
