KL Rahul: KL Rahul should not be included in the playing XI against Pakistan, why did Danish Kaneria say this?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India recently announced Team India for the Asia Cup, with KL Rahul returning as the vice-captain. Virat Kohli also made a comeback, who was not a part of the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe (to be held). KL Rahul has not played international cricket for a long time. He had previously had surgery. Later he became Kovid positive, so he had to stay out of Team India continuously.

Saying the same thing, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has given a big statement about KL Rahul. He said- Rahul has not played for the international team for some time. He was picked over Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson, who were playing regularly. When a player returns from injury, you should not immediately put him in the starting lineup (opening match, India face Pakistan in the first match of the Asia Cup). Let us tell you that here he did not name the India-Pakistan match, but the first match of Team India is from Pakistan in the tournament.

He further said – Considering his importance for India in the T20 World Cup, he should have been given some time to adjust with the team. Let us tell you that Team India has been kept in Group A. Apart from India, there will be Pakistan and a qualifier team. On the other hand, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are in Group B. This time the tournament will be played in T20 format.

Indian team: Rohit Sharma (capt), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.
Backup Player: Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel and Deepak Chahar.
