RCB players not Indian Cricket Team: After the conclusion of IPL 2026, the Indian cricket team has to tour Ireland and England. During this period, a two-match T20 series is to be played with Ireland from June 26. At the same time, there will be a series of five T20 and three ODI matches with England from July 1. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the tours of these two countries on Saturday, June 6. Apart from this, BCCI also announced the squad of Indian cricket team for Asian Games 2026.

Not a single player from RCB in T20 team

Some major changes were seen in the new squad released by BCCI. Like Shreyas Iyer was made the captain in place of Suryakumar. Apart from this, inclusion of 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and LSG bowler Prince Yadav in the T20 team was also a big decision of the board. At the same time, this announcement of BCCI brought disappointment for the winning team of IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bangalore. During this period, not a single player of RCB was seen in the squad released by the board. Now talks about this have started in the cricket market.

Players of remaining 9 teams got place

Apart from RCB, players from the remaining 9 IPL teams have got a place in Team India’s T20 squad. For this tour, the selectors have included maximum 3 players from Sunrisers Hyderabad in the squad. In which the names of Abhishek Sharma, wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy are included.

At the same time, two players each from Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders have been given a chance in the announced squad. Apart from this, one player each from Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants has also been successful in making a place.

There was hope for Rajat Patidar

Seeing the batting and captaincy of RCB captain Rajat Patidar in IPL 2026, it seemed that BCCI could make him a part of the T20 team for this tour, but it did not happen. RCB has won the IPL title under his captaincy for the last two consecutive years. In IPL 2026, captain Rajat Patidar played many explosive innings with the bat as well. This season he had scored 501 runs in 15 matches.
