Why did Karun Nair not get a place in the Champions Trophy team? Ajit Agarkar gave a big reason

Ajit Agarkar on Karun Nair: Karun Nair has not got a place in Team India's squad for Champions Trophy 2025. There was a lot of discussion about Karun Nair. Considering his performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, there was a lot of demand to include him in the team. However, the selectors have not given place to Karun Nair in the Indian squad. When Team India's Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked about this, he said that he cannot fit everyone in the 15-member team.

If we talk about Karun Nair, he has been out of Team India for the last 8-9 years. Karun Nair had scored a triple century in Test cricket and after that he disappeared from the team in such a way that he could not return again. However, these days it is raining runs from his bat in domestic cricket. He scored many centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy. He was scoring runs at an average of more than 600. For this reason, there was talk of his selection for the Champions Trophy. However, he has not got a place in the 15-member team.

Ajit Agarkar's reaction regarding Karun Nair

At the time of announcement of Team India's squad for the Champions Trophy, chief selector Ajit Agarkar was asked a question about Karun Nair. In response to this he said, if someone is batting at an average of 700 plus then it is a very special performance. However, it is very difficult for him to make a place in the team at this time. This is a 15-member squad and that is why we cannot keep everyone fit in it.

Let us tell you that everyone is praising the performance of Karun Nair at this time. A day before the announcement of the Champions Trophy squad, former veteran Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar had praised Karun Nair a lot. He had given a big reaction to Karun Nair's batting by posting a post on social media.
