BCCI is anticipated to announce the T20 World Cup squad later this month, according to a report. According to a report in Dainik Jagran, India captain Rohit Sharma will meet the chairman of the selection committee Ajit Agarkar and other office bearers to discuss the 15-member squad. The meeting will reportedly take place on either April 27 or 28 in Delhi.
During this time, Rohit Sharma will be gracing the national capital for a riveting match pitting the Delhi Capitals against the formidable Mumbai Indians,” the report further elucidated. “Meanwhile, Ajit Agarkar, the distinguished chairman of the selection committee, is expected to gracefully return from his sojourn in the picturesque locales of Spain, just in time to partake in the pivotal deliberations scheduled in Delhi.
According to the regulations set forth by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the stipulated deadline for submitting the comprehensive squad list looms large on May 1,” as per the regulations outlined by the apex cricketing body.
“The roster is poised to feature illustrious names such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Siraj,” the report highlighted.
Nevertheless, the inclusion of star all-rounder Hardik Pandya remains shrouded in uncertainty,” the report continued. “His fate hinges precariously on his performance in the ongoing IPL season. Pandya, who currently dons the captain’s armband for the Mumbai Indians, has been conspicuous by his limited bowling appearances and middling batting displays.

The discerning eyes of the selectors are also keenly fixated on the performances of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal in the quest to fill the opening slot,” it emphasized. “While Gill appears to hold a slight advantage at present, Jaiswal’s track record of past heroics might potentially sway the decision-making process. Furthermore, the spectre of exclusion looms ominously over either Rinku Singh or Shivam Dube,” it added.
“In the realm of wicketkeeping duties, contenders such as Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan are under the scanner,” it elaborated.
Lastly, the spirited competition for a coveted place in the squad sees Yuzvendra Chahal vying for attention alongside Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi,” the report concluded. “Despite Chahal’s lack of participation in a T20 World Cup thus far, his wealth of experience and stellar performances in the IPL could potentially tilt the scales in his favour.
