unmukt chand’s tweet goes viral as t20 world cup dream nosedives after usa squad snub
A heartbroken Unmukt Chand reacted after being ignored for USA’s five-match T20I series against Canada ahead of the World Cup. The 2012 U-19 World Cup-winning Indian captain was set to rule international cricket, however, his career never took off and he had to migrate to the USA in hope to revive his international career. Unmult did remarkably well in the USA’s Major Cricket League, scoring over 1500 runs across three seasons. However, when the USA squad for the Canada series was announced, he was shocked to his name missing.
The squad saw the likes of Corey Anderson, India U-19 player Harmeet Singh and ex-RCB batter Milind Kumar grab a spot but Chand failed to break through. An emotional Unmukt Chand took to X and reacted strongly.
“Irony of life- I keep hearing people cribbing about unfair systems in place and the need for healthy changes but when the same people come to power, they practice the same unjust means too. It’s high time we bring the change within ourselves and stand firm for what’s right,” wrote Chand.
Meanwhile, the snub has put his place in the T20 World Cup in jeopardy. Earlier, Chand had expressed his desire to play against India in the T20 World Cup.
“[It is] something which would be very strange (laughs), but I think since I’ve retired from India, my next goal was always to sort of play against India, and not in any bad blood but keen to test myself out against the best team in the world,” Unmukt Chand told Cricbuzz.
