The Indian Cricket team had four players who were named as the travelling reserve, and among them were Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed and Rinku Singh. Before heading to the Super 8 Stage, the management made the decision to release Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan from the squad.

However, in the case of Shubman Gill, there might be more to his release as the star-batter, who featured in the ODI World Cup as the opener alongside Rohit Sharma, may have gone through some trouble with the team management.

Shubman Gill was a part of the team in the first batch of players who went to the US. With the group stage leg in the US ending soon, Gill and Avesh Khan were released from the squad, while Rinku Singh and Khaleel Ahmed were kept in case of injury replacements.

"Shubman and Avesh were supposed to only stay till the group league stages in the United States. That was pre-decided. So, after the Ireland game, they will be released from the squad," a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on condition of anonymity.

However, if reports are to be believed, the purported reason for Gill's return is deemed as 'disciplinary concerns'. Since arriving in the United States, he has not been spotted travelling with the team. Besides, he is said to spend his time away from the team and instead engage in side projects.

He did come to the United States of America with Team India, but he was not visible at the Nassau County Stadium cheering on Rohit Sharma and his teammates, unlike Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed, who all made an appearance during the India vs Pakistan encounter.
