Ex-Pakistan Cricketer Criticizes Gambhir and Questions Kuldeep's Exclusion After India’s T20 World Cup Loss

Following India's 76-run loss to South Africa in the T20 World Cup Super 8 stage, former Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad criticized Indian coach Gautam Gambhir for bringing politics into the team environment, affecting team management and image.
