Former India cricketer Shikhar Dhawan says there is no discrimination of players based on region in India’s national team selection. Speaking on Sunday, he argues that the selection process does not favor players from particular parts of the country.
Dhawan also acknowledges that factors beyond performance can influence outcomes, stating that luck may play a role at times in who gets picked. The comments come as discussion continues around how national squads are chosen and whether selection decisions consistently reflect merit across regions.
While Dhawan’s remarks focus on defending the fairness of the process, they do not specify any concrete examples or details about how selection panels evaluate candidates. Across the reporting, his core message remains consistent: no regional bias is present, though selection outcomes can still be affected by chance.
