3 min readJun 8, 2026 09:32 PM IST Former India captain and ex-chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has launched a blistering attack on the selectors over India’s T20I squad for the upcoming Ireland and England series, questioning multiple calls — from the vice-captaincy to the all-rounder slots. India have named Shreyas Iyer as the new T20I captain, with Tilak Varma handed the vice-captaincy after Axar Patel was stripped of the role he held during the T20 World Cup. Speaking on his YouTube channel CheekyCheekaTV, Srikkanth was unimpressed. “Tilak Varma hasn’t even captained a side,” he said, taking aim at chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir for the decision. The former chief selector was equally pointed on the Tilak vs Patidar debate, a view he had aired on CheekyCheekaTV earlier this IPL season and one that has only hardened since. “He is not in form, and he doesn’t have the big-hitting capacity. He is not a tearaway batter. He can play shots, but he can’t demolish attacks like a Phil Salt or Rajat Patidar. …
