As the T20 World Cup in 2024 draws near, discussions about Team India’s potential squad composition have been buzzing. Former Indian cricketers have offered their suggestions for the team, with former Australian T20 World Cup-winning captain Aaron Finch also unveiling his lineup for the tournament in June.
In Finch’s squad, Yashasvi Jaiswal was named as the second player after captain Rohit Sharma, but he did not reveal his playing XI. Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav were selected as top-order players, while Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson were chosen as wicketkeepers. KL Rahul was excluded from the touring party. Hardik Pandya, who has been facing criticism for his poor performances in the IPL, was also included in Finch’s squad. Both Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh were selected by Finch, despite reports suggesting only one could be picked by the BCCI.
Finch opted for a pace-heavy bowling attack for Team India at the T20 World Cup, selecting Avesh Khan as the fourth seamer alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Mohammed Siraj. Ravindra Jadeja and in-form left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav were also included in the squad. India’s T20 World Cup squad is expected to be announced on Monday.
