BCCI Selectors Meet Jay Shah to Finalize T20 World Cup Squad, Report Indicates Hardik Pandya’s Inclusion

The BCCI selectors are set to meet with Jay Shah to finalize the T20 World Cup squad. It is understood that the BCCI secretary, who is also the convenor of the senior selection committee for men, will hold the meeting in Ahmedabad due to Shah’s political commitments.

Rajasthan Royals captain Samson has been a consistent performer for his IPL side, but it is unlikely for him to secure a place in the India team with his No. 3 batting slot.

Despite having 25 T20Is under his belt, his average of just 20 and a strike rate of around 135 have led to the opinion that he should not be considered based solely on one good IPL season. On the other hand, some believe that Rahul, who has the support of a senior member of the coaching staff, has a better chance of being included in the T20 World Cup squad.

However, there are concerns about his approach in T20 cricket being considered outdated. Despite this, he is still considered a better choice than Samson at No.
