Bhuvneshwar Kumar was one of India’s leading bowlers in T20 World Cup 2022. However, after the World Cup, he has not been given many chances in T20Is. It seems the BCCI, who earlier claimed that they are planning to build a young team for T20 World Cup 2024, is not considering him in their future T20I plans.
Also, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been out of India’s Test and ODI circuit for quite a long time. It seems the BCCI is not looking to give him any more chances in future.
