Severity:
The next big series after this Asia Cup is the T20 World Cup. The BCCI selectors are actively engaged in the process of selecting the team as they have to give the Indian team by September 15.
Batting Order:
There is no confusion in the team’s batting line-up. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik and Deepak Hooda are ready. Ravindra Jadeja’s participation is questionable due to injury.
Jadeja out?
However, according to the current information, it is very difficult for Jadeja to recover from the injury and participate in the T20 World Cup. Due to this, news has leaked from the BCCI circles that they have decided to remove him and add Akshar Patel for intensive training.
Problem in the bowling department too:
Similarly, there is a big problem in the bowling department as well. Only the seats of Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yujvendra Sahal have been filled so far. Arshdeep Singh, Deepak Sahar, Mohammed Shami and Harshal Patel are available for the third and fourth fast bowlers.
Likewise, the likes of Ravi Bishnoi, Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav are in contention for the backup spinner spot for Sahal.
While there are only 6 days left to announce the team, it has been reported that the BCCI selectors are actively consulting to correct the flaws and announce the team.
