Team India completely changed after T20 World Cup, entry of 6 new faces, these 5 star players are out of the team

New Delhi: A new era has begun in Indian cricket. Just a few months after making India the champion in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the selectors have prepared a very surprising outline for the future. There are clear indications from India’s T20 team announced for the tour of Ireland and England that now the eyes are fixed on the next T20 World Cup and Los Angeles Olympics 2028. Under this big change, many tough decisions have been taken in Indian cricket which have surprised the cricket fans.

Captaincy to Shreyas Iyer

The biggest and surprising decision of this team selection was regarding captain Suryakumar Yadav. World-winning captain Suryakumar not only lost the captaincy but was also completely out of the 15-member team. His performance in IPL 2026 was not as expected, after which the selectors took a tough stance.

Strong comeback in IPL

Shreyas Iyer has been given the command of the team in place of Suryakumar. Iyer played his last T20 International match in the year 2023. After being out for a long time, he made a strong comeback in domestic cricket and IPL.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will create history

Most of the attention on this tour has been attracted by 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who has been included in the senior Indian team for the first time. Along with Vaibhav, a total of 6 such players have been entered in the team who were not part of the 2026 World Cup squad. Apart from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, these include Prince Yadav, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi and captain Shreyas Iyer himself.

Rest to Bumrah and Hardik

To maintain the balance of the team and protect the players from injury, special attention has been paid to the workload management of senior players. Under this policy, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Hardik Pandya have been rested from the upcoming tours.

Kuldeep and Rinku also did not get place

Big names like Kuldeep Yadav and Rinku Singh, who were included in the T20 World Cup team, failed to make their place this time. It is clear that the Indian selectors have now set out on a mission to test the youth and prepare an invincible team of the future.
