By that same logic, Pakistan should've done something Dinesh Karthik has fired a scathing response at England duo Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler for their comments on India's team selection in the T20 World Cup. During an interview, Morgan had said that India's decision to play Rishabh Pant over Dinesh Karthik was "interesting", while Buttler had added that it was "surprising" to see the latter on the bench. Karthik took umbrage with their remarks and hit back in a television interview. "By that same logic, Pakistan should've done something. They have so many options, but they didn't even play Asif Ali or Haider Ali. England themselves did the same thing by playing Dawid Malan over Tom Banton," Karthik said. Karthik, who has been a vocal critic of team selection decisions in the past, also took a dig at Morgan's captaincy style. "I think it's very easy to comment on other teams' selections when you're sitting pretty with your own squad. But Eoin Morgan knows that as a captain, you have to be brave enough to make tough decisions," Karthik said. The former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman also defended his own selection in the tournament, saying he was confident about his abilities. "I am not worried about my form or fitness. I know what I can do on the field and I'm excited to contribute to the team's success," Karthik said. Karthik's outburst is likely to set off a fresh debate about team selection and captaincy in international cricket, with many experts weighing in on the issue.#Jos_Buttler #Eoin_Morgan #T20_World_Cup #Rishabh_Pant #Dawid_Malan #Dinesh_Karthik #Asif_Ali #Haider_Ali #Tom_Banton
