Don't know about Pakistan but the Indian squad for World Cup 2024 has been announced. This time a player was not in their squad whom everyone thought to be in that squad and because he is a huge name of India but BCCI rejected him because they knew that he could be not perform on moving pitches and he is just a player of flat pitches and his name is Shubman Gill.
I think it is such a good as well as shocking decision because he was not playing well in IPL and also now he was not in form. By the way, from the starting he was not in form but that time by chance the World Cup was hosted by India means flat pitches that is why he was selected otherwise there was no chance for him.
Not sure whether this is the right approach. If IPL is the sole consideration for selection to the Indian T20 team, then why we are having the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where 38 state associations participate? Whether Shubman Gill is included or not in the Indian team is not important here. All I am saying is that at least the domestic tournaments should also be considered for selection criteria. Now coming to Shubman Gill, he has been disappointing so far in IPL. Just two fifties in 10 matches.
Once again a very good player back in the team who is the very good player and also in this IPL, his performance was good who is
Yuzvendra Chahal.
After the 2019 World Cup squad, he is back in the team and Arshdeep Singh came into the squad means once again we are likely to see some old players in the World Cup squad.
Also, the England Cricket Board has said that they don’t want their players to play for IPL because they have to join them for the World Cup training and now they are ready to go back in England to play their own country instead of IPL.
