Ex-India cricketer Wasim Jaffer said he'd replace Ishan Kishan and Washington Sundar in India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jitesh Sharma. "Axar is VC...so he's sure to play...and you can't play Washi ahead of Varun and Kuldeep...Jitesh hasn't done anything wrong to be dropped...and Yashasvi doesn't need any explaining why he shouldn't be there," he stated.
