Following the announcement of the Indian squad for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup, people in Tamil Nadu came out in protest over the exclusion of left-arm medium pacer T Natarajan.
Tamil Nadu Minister for Industries TRB Raaja, son of veteran DMK leader TR Baalu, also expressed his anguish after the pacer got snubbed.
Former Indian Test player and one of the most prolific run scorers in domestic cricket for Tamil Nadu, S Badrinath in a local Tamil Television show on Tuesday night also expressed his disappointment on Natarajan's exclusion from the World Cup squad.
He said that Natarajan was performing extremely well and had fetched good number of wickets in the IPL season.
In the ongoing IPL season, Natarajan has 13 wickets in seven games for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"We don’t know why the team is announced without Natarajan who is a lethal left arm pacer in any cricket format. He would have been a real pair to Bumrah in the team," he added.
