India Drop Axar Patel For His Poor Form
India has dropped Axar Patel from their squad for the upcoming Test series against South Africa, citing his poor form as the reason.
Patel, who has been a regular member of the Indian team in recent times, has struggled with his batting form in recent months, scoring only a few runs in the ongoing series against England.
The decision to drop Patel was taken by the Indian team management, who feel that the all-rounder needs to work on his batting to be considered for selection again.
"Axar has been struggling with his batting for some time now, and we feel that he needs to work on his technique to be considered for selection again," said a team official.
The Indian team will now have to choose a new all-rounder to replace Patel, with the likes of Washington Sundar and K Gowtham being considered for the role.
Patel's exclusion from the squad is a major blow to his career, and he will have to work hard to regain his place in the team.
