As May 1 approaches, India is gearing up to announce its T20 World Cup 2024 squad. With only a few days left for the BCCI to declare the final 15 players, speculation is rife about who will make it to the team.
Former cricketer Irfan Pathan has shared his insights on who should be included in the squad. He believes that India should have five strong bowlers, with two wrist spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav. Pathan also emphasized the importance of fielding skills and suggested that Jasprit Bumrah should be a must-have in the team.
PTI sources have indicated that most of the team has already been decided, with only a few positions left to finalize. The selectors and team managers are currently evaluating Hardik Pandya’s fitness for bowling and discussing potential selections for Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. There are expectations that these players will be chosen as wicketkeepers for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 squad, with Shivam Dube also likely to be included.
According to Ajit Agarkar, chief selector, and captain Rohit Sharma, an informal discussion is expected to take place in Delhi about the final 15-person team for the T20 World Cup in the Americas. The official announcement is anticipated on May 1, which is also the ICC deadline for such announcements.
