Diego Maradona has taken a swipe at Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi.

Maradona doesn't believe Icardi deserves his Argentina selection.

“When I look at the Argentina team today I'm worried," Maradona told DirecTV Sports.

“I think there are better players than this man [Sampaoli] picks. Not calling Higuain means letting go of an incredible opportunity, especially if you replace him with Icardi and think you're finding the new [Gabriel] Batistuta.

“Icardi is in the national team because Zanetti acted as his representative.

“One day I spoke to Edgardo Bauza, he told me he'd received three calls from Wanda Nara [Icardi's wife and agent].

“He was saying 'How did you get my number?', he was stunned."
