Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has laid out his ideal bowling combination for India for the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. Manjrekar said that Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid and co. would select their bowling based on not only the opposition, but also the size of the ground. He said that leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal stands at a disadvantage to be included in the playing XI if the size of the grounds are on the smaller side. However, Manjrekar emphasised that he would like to see all three frontline pacers in the side.

Shehzad had made the argument that senior Pakistan players also play against weaker opponents, reducing opportunities for young players. Shehzad - who has played 13 Tests and 81 ODIs for Pakistan - even referred to Team India, and how Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are often rested to give youngsters a chance.
