For the last few days, there have been several reports about the possible exclusion of Surya Kumar Yadav from the Indian T20 team, and this has been officially confirmed now.
The latest announcement from the Indian team confirms that Surya Kumar Yadav is not just removed from the captain position, but he is not a part of the team either.
It has been officially confirmed that Shreyas Iyer is the captain of the T20 team from now on while Tilak Varma has been promoted as vice captain.
This is the team that has been confirmed for the upcoming T20 series against England and Ireland. This is a pretty significant announcement from the Indian team just three months after the recent win at the T20 World Cup.
The fact that Surya Kumar Yadav was not just removed as the captain of the team, but he was also removed as a player is a very strong indication that the Indian T20 team is moving on to better players.
It has been awhile since Surya had performed consistently for the Indian team, and that makes this decision to remove him from the T-20 format all the more applicable.
Generally, when a captain wins the World Cup for the Indian team, he is expected to have a particularly long run in the concerned format, but that is not the case with Surya. He will go down as one of the few captains to lose his position in the team, even after winning the prestigious World Cup.
