Riyan Parag SHOCKING Reaction Following T20 WC 2024 Snub, Says ‘Don’t Even Want to WATCH’
Mumbai: Assam-born Riyal Parag had an IPL to remember and that would have given him hope of making India’s T20 WC squad, but that did not happen. Days after the T20 WC snub, Parag has reacted to it. He was recently asked to predict the semi-finalists, to which, he claimed that he would not even watch the mega event and would only be interested in knowing the final winner. He said he would only be interested on who will be the semi-finalists when he is participating.
“It will be a biased answer (prediction on top four teams) but to be very honest I don’t even want to watch the World Cup. I’ll just see who is winning it at the end and I’ll be happy. When I will play the World Cup, I will think about top four and all of that,” Parag said in a chat with The Bharat Army.

“At some point, you’ll have to take me, right? So that is my belief, I’m going to play for India. I don’t really care when,” Parag had earlier told PTI in an interview after the snub.
