Sangwan is supposed to be the automatic choice in the starting eleven for the quarter-finals of the Duleep Trophy. But for some reason, the team management of West Zone dropped Sanat Sangwan to play former India U-19 skipper Yash Dhull, who is not a specialist opener. In fact, Dhull's stats in longer formats are not so impressive.
If Dhull could score a significant amount of runs, then nobody would have questioned the selection. As Dhull departed only after scoring 9 runs from 26 balls. From the beginning of the first innings, he looked uncomfortable against the West Zone pacers Tushar Deshpande and Shardul Thakur. Thakur clinched Yash Dhull, caught by Prithvi Shaw.
A top Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) official raised questions on the team selection process
"In zonal matches, it is the coaches who decide the playing eleven. Ajay (head coach) and Sarandeep (assistant coach) are the two coaches. I can't sit here and say why they didn't pick Sanat and played Yash," Sharma said.
Sanat Sangwan becomes the scapegoat in the Duleep Trophy?
If the coach somehow wants to fit Yash Dhull, who is also another middle-order batter, in the playing eleven, then he needs to drop someone from the team. In that case, the coaches chose to bench Sanat Sangwan, who is not among those cricketers who have a lot of backing in the Cricket Association.
The playing eleven of North Zone features five Jammu and Kashmir players, including captain Kanhaiya Wadhawan, Qamran, Abdul Samad, Abid Mushtaq and Sunil Kumar;r, three players from Delhi, including Dhull, who is the vice-captain of the team, Ayush Badoni and Ayush Doseja; Ishant Sindhu and Anshul Kamboj from Haryana; and Arshdeep Singh joins the team from Punjab.
