Srikkanth slams India's Afghanistan squad selection as fear-driven mistake

Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth has sharply criticised the national team's squad selection for the upcoming Afghanistan series. He argued that selectors missed a valuable opportunity to trial younger, emerging players. Srikkanth attributed the decision to a fear-driven mindset following recent losses against Ireland and England. Instead of experimenting, selectors chose a more experienced lineup, which Srikkanth viewed as an overly cautious approach rather than a forward-looking one.
