Why is the selection of record machine Karun Nair difficult in Champions Trophy? These two players are becoming a stumbling block

Cricket News Desk. The Indian team for the Champions Trophy, starting on February 19, will be announced in the next few hours. The selection committee meeting will be held today at 12 noon in Mumbai. After this, captain Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar will hold a press conference and explain the reasons for the selection or removal of the players. The team for the series against England will also be selected on Saturday.

The middle row is completely filled.
The selectors will also have to consider the name of Karun Nair, who has been in excellent form for the Champions Trophy and the ODI series against England. He has scored 752 runs with five centuries in Vijay Hazare Trophy. During this period his average has also been 752 runs. He is making new records in every match, but it will be difficult for him to make a place in the already strong middle order, which will also include all-rounder Hardik Pandya. However, Karun can be included in the team for the ODI matches against England.

Age is also a big obstacle in this path.
The selectors believe that it would not be a wise decision to recall the 33-year-old player to the team. Nair was dropped from the team during the 2016 Zimbabwe tour after playing just two ODIs. Thanks to the brilliant performance of Karun Nair, Vidarbha team has reached the final of the tournament, where it will face Karnataka on Saturday. Nair is the second batsman after Virender Sehwag to score a triple century in Test matches for the Indian team.

Meanwhile, great batsman Sachin Tendulkar also praised Karun Nair. Sachin described it as 'nothing short of extraordinary' and the Vidarbha captain expected him to 'maintain' this momentum. Nair has been performing brilliantly in the 50-over format in India's top domestic competition. Tagging Nair, Tendulkar wrote on 'X', “Making 752 runs with five centuries in seven innings is nothing short of extraordinary. Such performances don't happen by chance. Such performances come from a lot of focus and hard work. Such Just stay strong.” Take advantage of every opportunity.
