One of the biggest points of debate this season has been the selection panel and their decisions. With the T20 World Cup 2022 out of hand and the selection panel fired, Saba Karim has questioned the new selection panel. 

Another one of hot debates has been Shubman Gill and Sanju Samnson's exclusion from the squad. But Karim was surprised by the inclusion of Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi in the three-match series. 

Saba Karim lets it all out 

“Why have you taken Rajat Patidar and Rahul Tripathi to Bangladesh? What has Tripathi done in ODIs? He is a T20 specialist, but you have picked him in the one-day team. I don’t think he will play. The new selection committee and management must first decide the core team."

“Hardik Pandya was in great form. But after returning from a break, he struggled a bit with the bat and ball as well. After the IPL heroics, he also got to captain India, but Hardik Pandya’s graph has come down a bit since then. Players like Hardik have to play. This trend of taking breaks has to end.”
