Ajinkya Rahane Excluded From BGT Squad
Recently, BCCI has announced an 18-member squad for India's most crucial series against Australia. Fans and followers were expecting that as Ajinkya Rahane led Mumbai to Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup victory last year, he would have impressed the selectors and made his place in the squad. But his omission surprised the fans as he was ignored, and instead, Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul were named in the squad.
