The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a revamped 16-member squad on June 6 for the upcoming T20I tours of Ireland and England. Shreyas Iyer was appointed captain, while Tilak Varma was named vice-captain. Suryakumar Yadav, meanwhile, was left out of the squad following a dip in form.
"I think the selectors must have thought about it, and that is why they made the change. Only the selectors can give a better answer, or those who are closely involved with the game, like senior players and experts on television, can comment on it."
