The deadline for India to reveal its T20 World Cup 2024 squad is fast approaching on May 1. There are increasing speculations about who will make it to the team, which begins on June 2. With only a few days left, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) must declare the final 15 players for the squad.
Former cricketers have been weighing in with their opinions about who should be included in the upcoming tournament. Irfan Pathan believes that India should include five strong bowlers on its team, including two wrist spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav. He emphasizes the importance of fielding skills and suggests that Jasprit Bumrah is a must-have in the team.
According to PTI sources, most of the team has already been decided, with only a few positions left to finalize. The selectors and team managers are evaluating Hardik Pandya’s fitness for bowling and discussing potential selections for Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul as wicketkeepers.
Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are expected to be chosen as wicketkeepers for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 squad, with Shivam Dube also likely to be included. A BCCI selection committee source indicates that these players are being considered for selection.
The official announcement of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad is anticipated to take place in Mumbai on May 1, which is also the ICC deadline for such announcements. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma are expected to have an informal discussion in Delhi about the final 15-person team before making an official announcement.
