Shreyas Iyer’s Team India to drop Abhishek Sharma? Who will replace him? Ex-selector makes shocking claim! His name is…

According to News24, former Indian cricketer and national selector Kris Srikkanth has publicly questioned the continued inclusion of Abhishek Sharma in the Indian T20I squad. Srikkanth suggested that the team management should consider dropping the youngster in favor of Sanju Samson, citing a perceived lack of consistency in Sharma's performances following the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Srikkanth’s comments have sparked debate among cricket pundits and fans regarding the team's selection policy and the development of young talent. He argued that players should not be given an indefinite 'long rope' if they fail to deliver results at the international level, advocating for a more merit-based approach to the playing XI.

While the Indian team management has not issued an official response to these remarks, the discussion highlights the ongoing pressure on players to maintain form in a highly competitive national setup. The debate over whether to persist with emerging talents like Sharma or revert to experienced players like Samson remains a central theme in current Indian cricket discourse.
