India head coach Gautam Gambhir declined to comment on Shreyas Iyer's exclusion from the 18-member Test squad for the England series starting June 20. "I am not a selector," Gambhir said when asked about Iyer, who has led Punjab Kings to the IPL play-offs. Instead, Gambhir lauded the BCCI for inviting chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force to the IPL 2025 final on June 3 in Ahmedabad, calling it an "unbelievable step." The gesture honors Operation Sindoor, launched after the tragic Pahalgam terror attack in April that claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. (PC: AFP)
