Irfan Pathan, a former all-rounder for India, has shared his thoughts on the 15-member team that he thinks has a chance to win the ICC T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean in June of this year. Pathan was a vital part of India’s victorious 2007 campaign, where he was named Player of the Match in the championship game for his all-around bravery while playing as captain of the team for MS Dhoni.
The IPL 2024 is immediately followed by the T20 World Cup, which gives players an ideal chance to earn a spot on the team. Even if seniors like Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma are keys, Pathan claims that certain spots are still open.
Mohsin Khan will be included in the squad, according to Irfan Pathan:
India’s strength continues to be its batting, and Pathan highlights the significance of Kohli. Pathan stated, “Kohli is vital in a big tournament,” during the ESPNcricinfo show Timeout. The wicket-keeper position is the primary point of contention, with Jitesh Sharma impressing but with limited experience, and Rishabh Pant making a comeback from a major injury. Due to his versatility, KL Rahul is also a candidate.
In terms of bowling, Pathan emphasized the value of a left-arm pacer. He was passionate about selecting Mohsin Khan over Arshdeep Singh. Despite injuries, Mohsin has performed exceptionally well for LSG. Mohammed Siraj and the reliable Jasprit Bumrah were the other men on his list.
Pathan completes his team with the all-around skills of Ravindra Jadeja and the spin twins, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi.
According to rumors, the Indian team for the Twenty20 World Cup would be revealed during the last week of April, with reference to the deadline of May 1st imposed by the promoters. Teams can still make changes to their lineups until May 25th, though. On May 19, the Indian cricket players whose teams are not selected for the IPL 2024 playoffs will fly out to the USA, making up the first group of the Indian team.
