In a crucial development ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma is set to meet with the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel to finalize India’s squad for the upcoming tournament. The anticipation is high as fans eagerly await the announcement of the 15-member squad that will represent the country on the world stage.
One player who is confident about his chances of making the squad is the young batting sensation, Shubman Gill. After an impressive performance in the IPL 2023 season where he scored nearly 900 runs, Gill believes he has what it takes to secure a spot in the national team. “It is my dream to be able to represent my country at a world stage in a tournament like that,” Gill expressed in an interview with news agency ANI.
Gill also highlighted his captaincy experience and the support he has received from his teammates, Noor and Rashid, during his leadership role. The meeting between Rohit Sharma and the selection panel, which took place after the MI vs DC IPL 2024 match, is crucial as the final deadline set by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for squad submission is May 1.
However, there seems to be some confusion within the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the selection of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli, as all three players compete for a similar batting position. With the T20 World Cup set to commence on June 1 in the USA and the West Indies, the final squad announcement is eagerly awaited by fans and experts alike.
