Kolkata: Tilak Verma, who debuted for India in the T20 series once morest the West Indies, gave a good performance, and the demand to include the young player in the World Cup team also got stronger. Indian player R Ashwin was the first to suggest that Tilak can be included in the Asia Cup and World Cup teams and can be considered at number four. Later, former Indian coach Ravi Shastri also shared a similar opinion.
But Saba Karim, the former selector of the Indian team, has come out with a warning once morest keeping Tilak in the World Cup team only because of his performance in the series once morest the West Indies. Saba Karim warns the selectors by pointing out that Vijay Shankar was played as a three-d player instead of Ambati Rayudu, who was expected to be number four before the 2019 ODI World Cup, and Varun Chakraborty was played in the T20 World Cup in 2021.
Neither Vijay Shankar, who played in the 2019 ODI World Cup, nor Varun Chakraborty, who played in the T20 World Cup in 2021, have played in the Indian shirt. Saba Karim said that the selectors should be careful while selecting the Asia Cup and World Cup teams and should select the team with a big future instead of small goals. I am afraid of Tilak. Will the state of Varun Chakraborty come? Therefore, when selecting the team for the Asia Cup, the 15-member team that is sure to play in the World Cup should be selected. Only then can other players be considered. If Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul do not play in the Asia Cup, wicketkeeper and batsman should be included instead. This should be done by considering all possibilities.

Similarly, the performance of the players in domestic cricket should also be considered for the selection. We often conveniently forget how Suryakumar or Tilak Verma played in domestic cricket. If he has excelled in domestic cricket then there is no mistake in including that player in the team. But Saba Karim also stated that he does not agree with picking a player in the team for big tournaments just because of his performance in IPL and T20 cricket.
