Hardik, Rahul Excluded While Virat, Rohit…: Venkatesh Prasad’s T20 World Cup Statement

The debate continues regarding the selection of players for the team, with a focus on players like Rohit Sharma and the open wicket-keeper spot. Chief selector, MSK Prasad, expressed uncertainty regarding the wicket-keeper’s position. He mentioned several players who are in contention, including Shivam Dube for his ability against spinners, Surya for his T20 international batting skills, and Rinku Singh for his finishing ability.

Prasad suggested that it would be ideal to have these three players in the T20 World Cup squad alongside Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, leaving just one spot for a keeper-batsman. However, Prasad’s lack of trust in these players may be due to their recent poor form with the bat. Despite this, their expertise and impressive performances in T20 cricket could play a crucial role in India’s prospects at the T20 World Cup.

The focus remains on finding the right balance and combination of players for the upcoming tournament.
