5 Deserving Players who missed out on India squad for New Zealand tour
A few players like Dinesh Karthik, Mohammed Shami, and Prithvi Shaw have been excluded by the BCCI as they named the squads for the away white-ball series against New Zealand.
5. Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik is yet another surprise exclusion from the Indian squad for the New Zealand series. He made a successful comeback into the Indian team after performing excellently in the IPL 2022 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and has also proved to be an impactful finisher after donning the India jersey once again.
Nonetheless, Karthik has not been able to showcase good performances so far in the T20 World Cup and after the end of the tournament he would not be on that flight to New Zealand for the white-ball series.
The selectors have supposedly not preferred the veteran cricketer to be in their scheme of things in the long run. Since the Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper-batter does not feature in the ODIs anymore, there might be a possibility of the team management and the selection commitee looking beyond the 37-year-old in the shortest format as they start their planning for the next edition of the T20 World Cup in 2024.
