Tilak Varma has taken over the vice-captaincy role for the upcoming three series. However, after the Southpaw was appointed as Shreyas Iyer’s deputy, former chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has taken a dig at the current selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir for removing Axar Patel as the vice-captain. Axar Patel was the vice-captain for India in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, "Axar Patel was the vice-captain of the T20 World Cup-winning team, and he is still in the team. How did you look past him and go for Tilak Varma as vice-captain? I can't understand the logic behind this move. Tilak Varma hasn't even captained a side in the IPL, whereas Axar Patel has been captaining the Delhi Capitals."
Will Washington Sundar play as an all-rounder?
Kris Srikkanth has also mentioned the Gujarat Titans (GT) all-rounder Washington Sundar, who has been added to the team, and should have been dropped from the side for the upcoming tours in Ireland and England, as he has not been bowling much in T20 cricket.

"Washington Sundar doesn't deserve a place in the team. He doesn't even bowl for GT and is playing as a middle-order batter. So he is a stand-by middle-order batter for India as he's not bowling at all. He doesn't bowl for GT and rarely bowls even for India. So it's a question mark as to how Sundar is a certainty in the side as an all-rounder," said Srikkanth (via the aforementioned source).
