Rinku Singh’s Father Speaks Out After Son’s T20 World Cup Snub” – Cricket News

The left-handed batter displayed excellent form for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 and has consistently performed well since his T20I debut for India, both with the bat and in the field. Despite not being included in the 15-member squad, Rinku was named in the reserves alongside Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed.

Rinku’s father, Khanchandra Singh, expressed disappointment over his son’s exclusion, mentioning the initial hope and subsequent sadness they felt. He revealed that Rinku is feeling heartbroken, having informed his mother about not being part of the World Cup squad.

However, he also mentioned that Rinku will still be traveling with the team. Khanchandra Singh highlighted Rinku’s impactful performances, citing a crucial innings in South Africa and expressing disagreement with the team selection, particularly the inclusion of four spinners.

This decision was criticized as Srikkanth described it as “rubbish” and suggested that the selection was made to please certain individuals, making Rinku Singh a scapegoat.
