Rohit Sharma, Ajit Agarkar Hold Informal Meeting In Delhi to Discuss T20 World Cup Squad. Key Takeaways…

Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar had an informal meeting in Delhi to discuss the T20 World Cup squad. The formal announcement of the squad is expected to happen in Mumbai on May 1, which is the cut-off date for the ICC event. It is understood that Agarkar flew into Delhi for Saturday’s IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals to have a chat with skipper Rohit and gain further clarity before sitting with his colleagues to finalize the team.

Most of the team picks itself, and there will be a discussion about a few open slots. The main concern for the selection committee and team management is Hardik Pandya’s bowling fitness. If Hardik is included in the 15, there will be a decision between Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh.

It seems that KL Rahul, favored by the current coaching group led by Rahul Dravid, has left Sanju Samson behind in the competition. The possibility of surprising selections is minimal, although Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma is mentioned as a potential option. Yuzvendra Chahal, the skillful wrist spinner, is reportedly not a priority choice for an influential member of the coaching staff.

Overall, the main focus is on finalizing the squad with attention to a few key decisions, including Hardik Pandya’s inclusion and the balance of the team.
