BCCI announced the 15-member Indian squad for the T20 World Cup which will take place in Australia later this year.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday announced the 15-member Indian squad for the T20 World Cup which will take place in Australia later this year. Rohit Sharma will lead the team in the marquee tournament. KL Rahul is named the vice-captain of the team.
Pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, who missed the Asia Cup due to injuries, are included in the squad. Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are other seamers in the team, while Mohammad Shami is among the stand-by players.
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who recently had a knee surgery, is left out of the team. Axar Patel, Deepak Hooda and R Ashwin have made the cut on account of being all-rounders. But the biggest trump card for India at present is Hardik Pandya who has been in scorching form in 2022.
Deepak Chahar and Ravi Bishnoi have performed creditably but they are named as stand-by players and will only find a place if any member gets injured.
