New Delhi. A shocking news is coming out from the Congress side. In fact, now Congress leaders are also working to connect cricket with religion. Let us tell you later about why we are saying this. First know what is the matter. On Sunday, the Indian Cricket Board announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in October-November. The names announced by BCCI include Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh. You will not see the names of bowlers like Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan and Mohammad Siraj in this list. Now Congress is seen doing politics for this.
Shocked not to feed Siraj, Khaleel and Shami: Tauseef Alam
Congress leader and former MLA from Bahadurganj Assembly in Kishanganj district of Bihar Tauseef Alam has raised questions on the Indian team for not including a single Muslim player for the T20 World Cup. Actually, he is not at all happy with the selection of the team. Tauseef Alam says that he is saddened by not feeding a single Muslim player for the T20 World Cup in Team India. Sharing a post on Facebook, he wrote that, “I will not watch cricket until there is a fair selection in the Indian team. Team India was selected for T20 World Cup today. Shocked by the decision of the selectors. It was a surprise to see players like Mohammed Shami, Siraj, Khaleel Ahmed sit there.”

This statement of Congress leader Tauseef Alam is being discussed a lot everywhere. People believe that it is very wrong to associate cricket with religion or politics. The selectors of the team send their best players for an important event like the T20 World Cup for the country and it is not a person who decides who to include in the team, who is not. After much deliberation behind this and keeping in mind the past performance of the players, the final decision is reached. Let us tell you that the performance of Team India in the Asia Cup was very disappointing in terms of bowling. During this time only three bowlers were included in the team. Team India had to bear the brunt of which. But now correcting this mistake, the team has included 5 bowlers in its squad for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia. In which the names of Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh and Akshar Patel are included. At the same time, Mohammed Shami, Shreyer Iyer, Deepak Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi will be present as standbys.
