Suryakumar Yadav reveals selection panel's message before T20I omission
Suryakumar Yadav says selectors told him it was time to move on before T20I sacking.
Suryakumar Yadav said the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel told him it was time to move on before his omission from the T20I squad.
Despite a strong leadership record in the format, Yadav was replaced as captain by Shreyas Iyer and left out of the squad entirely. The decision followed India's group-stage exit at the T20 World Cup earlier this year.
Yadav indicated he has accepted the panel's decision and will focus on his domestic and IPL commitments going forward.

The panel's blunt message to a successful white-ball captain suggests they view the T20I role as requiring a reset rather than continuity after the World Cup exit.
