Experts Question Bhuvneshwar Kumar's Future in India T20I Squad After New Zealand Series
Former India captain Kris Srikkanth and cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin expressed disappointment over Bhuvneshwar Kumar's performance in the recent T20I series against New Zealand. Despite a strong IPL season, Bhuvneshwar conceded 180 runs in 16 overs with an economy rate of 11.25 and took only one wicket. Both suggested that due to his form and age, he may not be included in India's future T20I plans, with Ashwin noting Mohammed Shami is in better rhythm for selection.
