WTC 2023: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced India’s squad for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, which is set to take place at The Oval in London from June 7 to June 11. Rohit Sharma has been named as the captain while Ajinkya Rahane, who had been out of action for over a year, has made his comeback to the Indian lineup for the WTC final. However, Suryakumar Yadav’s exclusion from the team has left many disappointed.
Suryakumar Yadav excluded from WTC 2023 final squad
Former cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra has shared his thoughts on Suryakumar Yadav’s exclusion from the Indian squad for the World Test Championship final. Along with Ishan Kishan, Yadav had received his first call up for the Australian series, but was subsequently dropped from the team. Chopra has expressed his opinion on this decision by taking to Twitter.
He wrote, “Happy for Rahane. But how does the SKY inclusion-exclusion make sense?? Select kyon kiya…kar liya toh ek match ke baad drop kyon kiya?” The tweet has now gone viral on social media and has drawn several responses from cricket fans. Many fans believe that this is a balanced squad and is good for the match.

Ajinkya Rahane’s impressive form in Ranji Trophy
It is worth noting that Suryakumar Yadav has struggled in the current edition of the Indian Premier League. Although he made his Test debut in the first match of the Australian series in Nagpur, he was later replaced by Shreyas Iyer in the second Test. Ajinkya Rahane, who was dropped from the Test squad after the South Africa tour in January 2022, has made a comeback to the Indian squad for the upcoming World Test Championship final. The veteran Indian batter has been in outstanding form in the ongoing season of the Ranji Trophy 2022-2023, where he has scored 634 runs for Mumbai at an impressive average of 57.63.
