The apex cricket board of India picked the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, starting June 1. Along with the 15-player list, the BCCI also named a reserve list consisting of 4 players.

India T20 World Cup squad press conference Live Updates: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar will address the media at 4:00 PM IST on Thursday in a press conference. The captain and chief selector are expected to shed light on the squad selection that the BCCI announced on Tuesday, picking the 15-member roster for the T20 World Cup 2024.
Chairman of national selection committee Ajit Agarkar and skipper Rohit Sharma are expected to have an informal meeting in the national capital on a possible 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup in the Americas. The formal announcement might happen in Mumbai on May 1, the cut-off date for the ICC event. It is understood, Agarkar specially flew into Delhi for Saturday's IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals as he would also get a chance to chat up with skipper Rohit and get a further clarity before he sits with his colleagues to pick the final team.
Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of the senior men's selection committee, is in attendance for the ongoing Delhi Capitals-Mumbai Indians clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Saturday afternoon. Sources told IANS that Agarkar was spotted being seated in the commentary box of the media centre at the stadium. His presence during the Delhi-Mumbai game means that a meeting to finalise India's squad for the T20 World Cup could be happening once the Delhi-Mumbai IPL match is over.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering doubling the remuneration for domestic players. According to a report in Cricbuzz, the national selection committee, led by chairman Ajit Agarkar, has been tasked by the BCCI to help them implement this idea. The sole aim of the idea is to make sure that the non-IPL players do not feel deprived. Currently, the BCCI pays Rs 60,000 per day to a player who has played more than 40 Ranji games.
Just over a week remains for the announcement of India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad. The deadline for announcing the squad is May 1, which means that by the end of this month the provisional squad will be announced. India's drought in ICC tournaments has not ended since MS Dhoni-led India won the 2013 Champions Trophy. The heartbreak of the ICC 2023 ODI World Cup final is still fresh in Indian fans' mind and the 2024 T20 World Cup is a brilliant chance to achieve redemption.
With just weeks to go before the T20 World Cup 2024 squad is finalized, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reportedly had a chat with skipper Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid and selection committee chief Ajit Agarkar in Mumbai. A number of places are up for discussion, including the talismanic Virat Kohli and all-rounder Hardik Pandya. The debate over Kohli's strike-rate has only enraged as the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has progressed while Hardik's below-par batting performance and sporadic bowling spells have left much to be desired.
