T20 World Cup, India Squad: What Could Be The Ideal Combination?

The All-India Senior Selection Committee would be meeting on Monday and they would pick the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup slated to be played in Australia in October-November. Looking at how India fared in the Asia Cup, it would be interesting to see whether there are some changes made in the squad or not. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are expected to be fit in time, so they would directly come into the squad but who they replace would be the bigger question.

Former India pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji feels Deepak Chahar should've played for the team in the Asia Cup, especially considering that star fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will miss the tournament.

"Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami Will Not Be With Indian Team Forever": Rohit Sharma On Creating Bench Strength

With the 2022 T20 World Cup starting in little over two months' time, the preparations are on full swing for the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team. That India have not won an ICC title since 2013, adds extra significance to the mega-event that will be held in Australia. Considering that, Team India is playing in a series of international tours to get their act right on the biggest stage.

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said that creating a good bench strength is a priority for the management.

"Would Not Have Gone With...": Ex-India Captain On Player Who Could Have Been Excluded From Asia Cup Squad

Former Indian skipper and ex-chairman of the selection committee Krishnamachari Srikkanth said that had he been the chairman of selectors currently, pacer Mohammed Shami would have been a part of Men in Blue's squad for upcoming Asia Cup 2022, which will take place from August 27 onwards. The All-India Senior Selection Committee on Monday announced the 14-members squad for the upcoming Asia Cup. The much-anticipated Asia Cup cricket tournament will take place from August 27 this year. "In my team, Shami was literally there. If I was the Chairman of the selection committee, I think Shami would have been there and probably, I would not have gone with Ravi Bishnoi. But I still believe that Axar Patel was a serious contender in my team. It would have been a big toss-up between Axar Patel and Ashwin," said Srikkanth during the show 'Follow The Blues' on Star Sports.

Mohammed Shami Not In Indian Cricket Team's T20 World Cup Plans: Report

After clinching victory in the two-match T20I series against Ireland, Team India is now all set for the multi-format Tour of England. As only a few international matches are left before the T20 World Cup 2022, the selectors will be keeping an eye on every player's performance. But, according to sources, pacer Mohammed Shami is not on the selectors' radar. "Selectors are not seeing Shami for T20 World Cup as he is not fit for the format. Selectors want to invest in young bowlers and give them maximum chances before the World Cup in Australia. They might pick Bhuvneshwar Kumar as one of the senior bowlers but probably Shami could miss the Australia flight this time for the T20 World Cup," a source told ANI.
