Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra highlighted the constant changes in the Indian T20I squad lately. The likes of Varun Chakravarthy and Rahul Chahar, who played in T20 World Cup 2021 have not been picked for the home T20I series against New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka.

In the recently concluded T20I series against West Indies, India handed over the debut cap to leggie Ravi Bishnoi. Bishnoi was paired up with Yuzvendra Chahal, who didn't make it to the T20 World Cup squad last year.

"It is sad because too many changes are happening. COVID has made the selectors' job very easy, they can pick everyone. But after that, you become trigger-happy. The two spinners you had picked in the T20 World Cup, you wouldn't have picked them with closed eyes, you don't even know where Rahul Chahar and Varun Chakravarthy are," said Chopra on his YouTube channel.

"They have totally forgotten them. Ravichandran Ashwin was the third spinner, he is also missing at the moment because of injury. But I don't think even if he was fit, you would have played him in the T20 team," he further added.

Chopra spoke on the problem with having lack of consistency in team selection. He said it can be tough for the team to achieve long-term goals with the regular changes in the side.

"What is happening? When there is no consistency in selection, there is no long-term process, you do goal setting but how do you reach there because every few weeks you get a new player.

"If you don't give proper opportunities to the new players and don't get them prepared, you are actually doing a disservice. There has been a question of consistency in selection in the last little while. Therefore, I think it's about time to put your foot down, get it sorted," Chopra elaborated.

Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been rested for the T20I series, while Ravindra Jadeja is making a comeback to the side after recovering from injury.
