His name is there despite the Zimbabwe tour not being that good. Abhishek Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad’s name is not there. I am talking about T20Is.

This in itself tells a different story.” Parag could only score 24 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 88.88 during the T20 series against Zimbabwe.
