Tilak Varma, who has been performing consistently for Mumbai Indians, was included in the India T20I squad for the England series. In contrast, Riyan Parag, who showed promise with Rajasthan Royals, was left out. This exclusion came despite Parag’s solid performances in recent IPL seasons, particularly in 2024 when he had his best campaign yet.
Tilak’s remarkable performances, including two centuries in the T20I series against South Africa, have elevated his standing in Indian cricket, making him a key player for the national team. On the other hand, Parag, despite decent outings, has not made the same impact at the international level and was not selected for the T20I squad.
