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

The board has not yet announced the 15-member unit it wishes 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 over four important areas of the game. The board and selectors are grappling with the decision to stick with tried and tested combinations or to bank on young players’ IPL form and give them a chance in the T20 World Cup. Both options feature different kinds of players with contrasting form.

While Samson’s performance in the IPL has been exceptional, Rahul’s experience is also valued by the board. This leaves the BCCI with a particularly tough decision to make. Furthermore, there are concerns about Siraj and Arshdeep conceding many runs, but the context must be considered. In these matches, the focus should be on defending the target set by your team, even if it is by a small margin.

It’s noted that Jasprit Bumrah stands in a different class from the others and should not be compared with them. It has been clarified that there won’t be an ‘impact player’ rule in the World Cup.
