May 1 is the deadline for India to reveal its squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. As the date approaches, speculation about who will be included in the team has increased. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) must declare the final 15 players for the squad within a few days.
Former cricketers have shared their opinions on who should make it onto India’s team for the prestigious tournament, which begins on June 2. Irfan Pathan believes that five strong bowlers should be included, with two wrist spinners like Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav. He emphasizes the importance of fielding skills and thinks that Jasprit Bumrah is a must-have in the team.
PTI sources indicate that most of the team has already been decided, and there are 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, KL Rahul, and Shivam Dube. These players are said to be on the radar for selection by a BCCI selection committee source.
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Rohit Sharma are expected to have an informal discussion in Delhi about the final 15-person team for the T20 World Cup in South America. The official announcement is predicted to take place in Mumbai on May 1st, which is also the ICC deadline for such announcements.
