Dev Chaudhary’s selection by New Delhi Tigers in the DPL has drawn criticism, according to a report published on August 26, 2026, after he played two matches despite limited known credentials and highlighted the league rule allowing franchises to pick three players outside the auction.
DDCA Apex Council member Shyam Sharma criticised the selection. DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma said the rule will be reviewed after the tournament amid concerns over recommendations and selection practices.
