The ICC T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the Indian team led by skipper Rohit Sharma will enter the tournament looking to break the title drought.
As strong as the 15-man unit named for the showpiece tournament in the West Indies and USA is, a few notable names missed out on the flight to North America and Rinku Singh was among the biggest names missing. However, the southpaw, who recently won the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, will travel to the tournament as a reserve player.
Rinku had done well whenever called up by the Indian side and recently revealed that it was difficult when he found out that he did not make the 15-member list.
“Anyone feels a little bad if he is not selected despite good performance,” he began.
However, the 26-year-old batter said it wasn’t wise to think too much about things beyond your control.
“However, this time I could not get selected due to the team combination. It is okay, one should not think too much about things that are not in one’s hands,” he added.
“Yes, I was a little upset in the beginning. Whatever happened is fine. Whatever happens, happens for good,” he asserted.
Rinku also opened up on his conversation with team captain Rohit following his non-inclusion in the 15-man unit.
“Rohit Bhaiya did not say anything special. He only said that just keep working hard. There is a World Cup again after two years. There is no need to worry too much. This is what he said to me,” Rinku revealed.
Rinku went on to laud the leadership abilities of the national skipper and reiterated on his desire for the youth players to fare well.
“The whole world has seen how good his captaincy is. If I talk about myself personally, I have done only one tour with him so far. I have not even talked to him much. He supports the youth a lot. He only wants the youth to do well and he always says that play, do well,” Rinku concluded.
India begin their campaign for T20 glory against Ireland on the 5th of June at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, USA.
