Players like Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh have raised hopes of getting a place in the squad for the T-20 World Cup to be held in June this year, after performing brilliantly in the three T20 series against Afghanistan. It remains to be seen whether the selectors of Team India now focus on young players in this shortest format of cricket's World Cup or opt for experienced and big name players. However, after the series against Afghanistan, captain Rohit Sharma said that the T20 World Cup team has not been selected yet. However, the 8 to 10 players who will be included in the team are already decided.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has hinted that, despite a brilliant performance in the T20 series, the young players may not get a place in the T20 World Cup squad. Rohit said that, like when we played in ODI World Cup, we are trying many players in T20 also. Their appearance was effective.
We have a group of 25 to 30 players for the T20 World Cup right now: Rohit Sharma
However, when the squad was finally selected, some of the players who performed well were dropped. Because of this they must have been disappointed. However, our job is to clarify all these things. Rohit's position as the captain of Team India seems to be decided in the T20 World Cup. He said, we have a group of 25 to 30 players for the T20 World Cup. They all know what we expect from them. We haven't decided the team yet.
World Cup squad options welcome: Dravid
Indian team coach Rahul Dravid said that while the T20 World Cup team has not been selected, the options that Team India is getting are welcome. We have been trying out new players since the last ODI World Cup for different reasons. Young players are showing their talent and skills, which is positive for us. With the IPL to be played before the T20 World Cup, all eyes will be on the performance of the prospects who will make it to the squad.
However, the idea of which 8 to 10 players will be playing in the T20 World Cup is in the mind. Most of the matches are to be played at Windies' ground, where the pitch is expected to be slow, Rohit said, adding that we have to select the team keeping in mind the conditions there. Coach Rahul bhai and I are trying to ensure that all the players in the team are fully aware of the situation. One thing I've learned as a captain is that you can't please everyone all the time. As a captain one has to give priority to the needs of the team.
Rohit was dismissed for 0 in both the opening ODIs against Afghanistan. However, he scored a career-high fifth century in the third T20I, scoring an unbeaten 121 off just 69 balls. Rohit said, I am working hard in the nets. Some special strokes have to be hit to create pressure on the bowler in the match. When the ball is stationary, it cannot be hit straight. New strokes have to be tried for that.
