New Delhi. Team India is busy preparing for the Asia Cup as well as the ODI World Cup. The 15-member Indian squad for the World Cup 2023 has been announced. Rohit Sharma will be seen leading Team India for the first time in the ODI World Cup. Talking about Asia Cup 2023, an important Super-4 match between India and Pakistan is to be played today. The World Cup is starting from October 5. Before this, no good news is coming for Team India. New Zealand announced its 15-man squad for the World Cup on Monday. Kane Williamson has been given the command of the team. He could not play an international match after IPL 2023 due to a knee injury. He also had to undergo surgery. In such a situation, doubts are being expressed about his participation in the World Cup. But the New Zealand Cricket Board has expressed its intention by making Williamson the captain.
33-year-old Kane Williamson has snatched 2 ICC titles from Team India. Which includes the title of 2019 ODI World Cup and 2021 World Test Championship. In the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup, the Indian team lost to New Zealand in the semi-final. The result of the match was announced on Reserve Day. The Kiwi team also gave a crushing defeat to India in the final of the World Test Championship. The result of this match also came on the reserve day itself. Talking about the World Cup 2023, a match between India and New Zealand is to be played on October 22 in Dharamshal.
