BCCI's Kotak defends Jaiswal's ODI exclusion, urges patience amid stiff competition

BCCI official Kotak has defended the selectors' decision to keep Yashasvi Jaiswal out of India's regular ODI setup, insisting the team has not been unfair to the young batter. Jaiswal has posted impressive numbers across the six ODIs he has played, but finds himself behind an established top-three batting order. Kotak stated that Jaiswal must wait for his opportunity to break into the side. The comments come amid growing debate over whether the talented opener deserves a more consistent run in the 50-over format.
