Giving his thoughts on India's ICC T20 World Cup 2024 squad, former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh said that the team will miss middle-order batter Rinku Singh and including four spinners in the squad is a little too much. The T20 World Cup will start on June 1 and will be played in venues in the USA and the Caribbean till June 29. Rinku has not made it to the main squad but is included in the reserves. Speaking to ANI on Monday, Harbhajan said, "The World Cup team has been selected. The batting is good. I think we are one fast bowler short. One player that I think we will miss is Rinku Singh, because he is someone who can win the match single-handedly for us. He can chase down 60 runs in 20 balls. I think selecting four spinners is a bit too much. Three would have been enough. I wish the Team India all the best, hope they bring the cup."
