Title: BCCI faces dilemma over T20 World Cup selection
Cape Town: As Team India prepares for the second match of the Test series in South Africa, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is facing a major decision regarding the T20 World Cup selection.
The upcoming T20 World Cup, set to take place in West Indies and America, has put the spotlight on the future of senior players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. According to reports, both players are keen on participating in the World Cup, but the selection committee is set to meet with Indian coach Rahul Dravid to discuss their T20 future.
Before announcing the squad for the India-Afghanistan T20 series, the selection committee will evaluate the performance of 30 players playing for India and in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the IPL schedule clashing with the England Test series, BCCI is cautious about overburdening key players.
Additionally, the absence of all-rounder Hardik Pandya due to injury and the exclusion of T20 specialist Suryakumar Yadav from the Afghanistan series further complicate the selection process.
BCCI is faced with the tough task of choosing two players for one position, and it remains to be seen how they will navigate this dilemma ahead of the T20 World Cup. Meetings between the selection committee and coach Rahul Dravid are expected to provide clarity on the way forward for the senior players in the squad.
