'It's ridiculous': Ex-India coach questions Yashasvi Jaiswal's ODI snub
Follow
Former India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has publicly criticized the selection panel for excluding Yashaswi Jaiswal from the ODI squad, labeling the decision as absurd given the left-hander's consistent performance. Jaiswal has amassed 285 runs in six ODI innings, featuring two centuries and maintaining a striking average of 71.25, yet he remains without a guaranteed spot in the white-ball setup ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
Ten Doeschate highlighted the player's intense drive and visible frustration when failing to convert starts into large scores, noting that Jaiswal works exceptionally hard despite not being a prolific net player. The former coach also recalled Jaiswal's fearless display during the 2024 tour of Australia, where the batter successfully handled Mitchell Starc's pace in Perth despite earlier struggles with short-pitched bowling in practice.
Jaiswal recently demonstrated strong form in an unofficial Test series against New Zealand A, which concluded as a 0-0 draw, after recovering from a duck in the second match to finish with an unbeaten 155.
