Hardik, Gill Axed; Mayank Included In T20 World Cup Squad By India Great

There was no place for star all-rounder Hardik Pandya in former India spinner Harbhajan Singh's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the Americas. Ahead of the deadline for the squad selection, Harbhajan picked his 15 players he thinks should be part of the squad for the World Cup. Apart from Hardik, Harbhajan also left out the likes of Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer. He, however, didn't hesitate while picking IPL's latest sensation Mayank Yadav, despite the pacer currently out of action due to workload management issue.

Mayank, who has a knack of breaching the 150kmph mark regularly, has played just two games so far, picking up six wickets. Harbhajan isn't the first ex-player to vouch for his selection.

He went all-in, as far as the bowling department is concerned, with seven players, including all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
