Watson’s batting has suffered a lot since joining RCB last year

#5 Vulnerable to injuries

Shane Watson has been a victim to almost all kinds of injuries - back stress fractures, hamstring problems, hip problems, dislocated shoulder et al. In T20s, it is very important to have players in the team who are at their peak fitness; players who can respond to the demands of modern day cricket.

And Shane Watson is definitely not one of those players, given the fragile condition of his body. So, it is time to infuse young blood into the team who can meet all the requirements of T20 cricket.
