Yuvraj Singh, former Indian cricketer, has publicly questioned the selectors' decision to exclude Shubman Gill from the T20 World Cup 2026 squad, stating that Gill did not deserve to be left out. The selectors chose to include Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan as the top-order batters instead. Gill's recent form has been under scrutiny, but Singh believes that players who have consistently performed should not be dropped at the last moment. Gill aims to demonstrate his capabilities during the ongoing IPL 2026 season, where he opened for Gujarat Titans against Punjab Kings, scoring 39 runs off 27 balls. He emphasized his strong performance in the IPL over the past few seasons, asserting that he has nothing to prove. India's next T20I series will be against Ireland in June, followed by matches in England, West Indies, and Sri Lanka before the end of the year. The next T20 World Cup is scheduled for 2028 in Australia and New Zealand.
