BCCI recently announced the 20-man squad that will be leaving for England, firstly to take on New Zealand in the World Test Championship final at Southampton on June 18 followed by a five-match Test series against England beginning from 4 August.

While many were really impressed with the squad, some members of cricket fraternity questioned the board for not picking certain players. Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh is one of the latter group as he questioned BCCI for not picking Jaydev Unadkat.

According to the 47-year-old, Unadkat has been delivering quality performances in first-class cricket year after year but still the left-arm quick could not find a place in the Indian team.

“What else does @JUnadkat need to do to get into the Indian test squad. It’s perplexing to see him being ignored again and again despite great performances year after year at the FC level,” the former India cricketer wrote on Twitter.

The 29-year-old Unadkat took 67 wickets from 10 matches which included seven five-wicket hauls at an average of 13.23 as he broke the record for the most wickets by a fast bowler in a single season during the 2019-20 Ranji Trophy, guiding Saurashtra to title win.

Apart from first-class cricket, Unadkat was also seen in action for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2021 which was recently indefinitely suspended after few positive cases inside multiple teams' bio-bubbles.
