Selectors gave the reason of moving forward in the T20Is keeping the WT20 in 2020 in mind.
On Saturday afternoon, however, Prasad appeared somewhat wary of an elaborate conversation focusing on the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
“We’re looking at a second ’keeper, so Rishabh Pant is there and DK (Dinesh Karthik) hasn’t done badly either... Both, therefore, are in the T20I squads which we announced late on Friday,” Prasad told The Telegraph.
However, the big question asked to Prasad was whether MS Dhoni was taken into confidence while taking this decision, and Prasad revealed Dhoni’s reaction to the news.
Prasad said, “Oh yes... Yes. I myself spoke to MS and I must say he was most gracious. I explained our need to look at a second ’keeper and MS graciously supported the idea.”
