Why has BCCI considered sidelining Suryakumar Yadav?

BCCI selectors are facing heat over plans to sideline Suryakumar Yadav from the T20I side. The move risks looking like a snub to established leadership and raises questions about selection consistency.

Shreyas Iyer's been confirmed as the new T20I captain, replacing Yadav ahead of upcoming series against Ireland and England. The 31-year-old Punjab Kings skipper will lead the side while young talent Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets a maiden call-up as selectors plan for future cycles, including the 2028 Olympics.

The transition comes after nearly 30 months of Iyer being away from T20Is — a long absence for a player stepping straight into the top job. What's muddier is whether Yadav stays in the squad at all, or if the BCCI is quietly repositioning him out entirely.
