Team India Squad T20 World Cup 2024: The bells have already rang for the next world cricket event, which is scheduled to be held in June 2024. The schedule for the T20 World Cup 2024 was announced on Friday, which officially marks the beginning of the countdown for the showpiece event. 



While the schedule for the tournament has already been confirmed, there is no clarity on how the Indian side is going to be. With so many debates happening around the Indian setup with hot questions around the position of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the shortest format side, it is pretty early to presume anything. However, the puzzle will be solved inside-out as soon as the BCCI announce India's squad for the Afghanistan T20Is.



So far, there have been strings of reports that have come out as to how the Indian think-tank is looking at the issue. Whether the selectors want a completely new T20I setup with all the young guns, or they are happy with a fine mix of youngsters and veteran players in the squad.



It's worth noting that a few reports recently revealed that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are willing to be in the Team India squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. 



However, a string of reports also claimed that the BCCI is no longer looking at Virat Kohli from the T20I perspective. The board, reportedly, is looking to phase out Kohli from the T20I side and his place would ultimately be awarded to some young player.



To contradict this, some other reports claimed that the board would not deny Virat Kohli's assistance as he still is a force to reckon with in any format. His fitness and past records, along with his current form, will tempt the national selectors to give him another shot to lift the World Cup trophy.



On the other side, Rohit Sharma's place in the T20I side is almost confirmed. The Indian captain has changed the dynamics of the Indian squad in any format. He has the knack for providing a brisk start to the team, which gives the middle-order some extra time to settle in during the innings.

Talking about the wicketkeeping roles, the Indian selectors will have a few options to look at. KL Rahul has recently emerged as one of the finest wicketkeeper batters, but there will be stiff competition among Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant as well.



It's quite interesting that Rishabh Pant, who hasn't played a single international game since he met with a deadly accident in the wee hours of 2023, is still in the race. However, his selection in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad will depend on how he performs in the IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals.



Ishan Kishan is likely to be another wicketkeeping option for the team. Moreover, the southpaw will be looked at as a backup opening option on the side.

IND vs AFG: After the end of Team India's last bilateral T20I series ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, the gossip for the showpiece event has begun to pick up its pace. Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who blew Afghanistan away with his sensational batting, hinted at how Team India's squad would look for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA.



After winning the third T20I in a second Super Over in Bengaluru, Rohit Sharma indicated how the overall Indian squad would look for the world tournament scheduled to begin on June 1.



In a conversation with Jio Cinema, Sharma asserted that the nature of the tournament is such that the team will have to leave out many of the talented batters, despite performing so well.



Team India is set to kickstart their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland in New York. The squad for the same will be announced in due time after analysing the performances of players during the upcoming Tata IPL 2024.



Rohit Sharma revealed that it's unfortunate for the players to miss out on the final squad for the World Cup, and the same will happen when the BCCI announce India's Squad.



?It becomes challenging to a large extent because you are trying out a lot of players. Like when we were playing in the ODI World Cup, we tried out many boys in T20s. They perform but when the main squad is announced, some boys have to be left out. So, it is disappointing for them," said Rohit Sharma. 



However, the Indian captain said that it was his duty to bring clarity about the roles and responsibilities of each individual in the squad.



"But our job is to bring clarity to the team. It shouldn?t be that we want to do something and something else is happening. So, in the pool of 25-30 players we have, they know what is expected of each player,? he added.



Rohit Sharma, who became the player with the most number of centuries in the T20Is during the 3rd T20I against Afghanistan, said that though he has a couple of players in his mind, the final squad hasn't been finalised as of yet.



?We have still not finalised the squad for the T20 World Cup, but obviously in the mind you know the 8-10 players who are going to play. Then you decide on the combination after looking at the conditions of the place you will be travelling to."



He further indicated that the conditions in the West Indies are not new to them and the squad will be picked accordingly. 



?In the West Indies, the conditions are quite slow, so we have to pick the squad accordingly. Again I say, Rahul Bhai and I have tried to maintain clarity in the team. The one thing I have learnt from captaincy is that you can?t keep everyone happy. You have to focus on the needs of the team,? he added.

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
