India's T20 World Cup Squad Live Updates: BCCI set for selection meeting

India's T20 World Cup Squad: The Board of Control for Cricket in India is set for the all-important meeting of its selection committee that will pick the national squad for the 2024 men's T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by the USA and West Indies from June 2 to 29.


The wicketkeeper-batsman slot is expected to draw the most attention, with multiple names making claim through their performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League, with the primary contenders being Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Sanju Samson.

The squad, as announced earlier by Jay Shah, will be led by Rohit Sharma.

As this year’s IPL precedes a marquee global competition like the T20 World Cup, there is a familiar clamour building up to pick may be an Ashutosh Sharma or a Shashank Singh as finishers, as they have engineered a couple of stunning heists for Punjab Kings.

However, things don’t work out that way.

More than IPL performers, the selectors may be should be worried about how to keep their pool of players fresh after a gruelling two months of IPL cricket. There have been three T20 World Cups (2009, 2010, 2021) that have been played a few weeks after the IPL and in all those events, India could not qualify for the semis.

RCB VS DC Highlights

Image
Patidar, bowlers keep RCB in playoffs contention RCB stay alive! This is the virat team 🦸 RCB have come out with a proper plan against the hard-hitting DC batters. For starters, they have bowled just the two overs of spin - one each from Swapnil and Karn. And since the start of the seventh over, the fast bowlers have consciously tried to hit hard lengths to deny DC batters the room to swing their bat. Which is why Hope could not resist going after a full toss from Ferguson. Turns out it was a slower one and he only toe-ended it towards deep midwicket. And then Green managed to nail a direct hit at the bowler's end after a miscommunication between Axar and Stubbs. Their 11 balls on a length, between the seventh and the 11th over, went for just 10. DC are 90 for 6 after 11, need 98 more Dayal capped off his impressive outing by knocking Kuldeep over as RCB brought up their fifth win on the trot to stay in contention of a playoffs spot. Dayal finished with three wickets w...
