What happened
Former cricketer Kris Srikkanth criticised India's squad selection for the Afghanistan series. He believes selectors missed an opportunity to test younger players. Srikkanth described the decision as a mistake influenced by recent defeats. The selectors opted for an experienced team instead of experimenting with new talent. This approach was seen as a safe move after losses in Ireland and England.
