Why Simarjeet Singh Was Picked Over Chahar & Zampa?
The decision of choosing Simarjeet Singh over Deepak Chahar and Adam Zampa was due to the former holding better chances of availability and meeting the tactical requirements, and exhibiting better recent form.
Chahar’s Absence and Zampa’s Position
Deepak Chahar had a medical emergency which meant that he was not available for selection. That meant the team needed an alternative pacer. At the same time, Adam Zampa, a specialist leg-spinner, was also absent because the conditions of the pitch and the match were spin unfriendly.
