Ajit Agarkar, Rohit Sharma Face 4 Tough Decisions in T20 World Cup Squad Selection

The board has yet to announce the 15-member unit it plans to send to the West Indies and USA for the T20 World Cup. According to a report in the Times of India, the selection committee is still undecided on four important areas of the game.

The decision to stick with established combinations or bank on young players’ IPL form is proving to be a tough call for the board and selectors. Players like Samson and Rahul bring different strengths, making it a challenging decision.

Both Samson and Rahul have their own strengths and values. Samson has shown exceptional performance in the IPL, while Rahul’s experience is highly valued by the board.

This creates a dilemma for the BCCI regarding team selection. There are concerns about the performance of Siraj and Arshdeep, particularly with regards to conceding too many runs.

However, it needs to be considered in the context of defending the target set by the team. It is recognized that players like Jasprit Bumrah possess a different level of skill, and comparisons with other players should not be made.

Additionally, it has been mentioned that there won’t be an ‘impact player’ rule in the World Cup. The decision-making process is complex, and the board faces the challenge of making tough decisions ahead of the T20 World Cup.
