New Delhi. After the World Cup 2023, now it is the turn of the T20 World Cup. The T20 World Cup will be held in June next year. A key member of the 2007 T20 World Cup champion Indian team S. Sreesanth has selected his team for this important tournament to be held in West Indies and America. Senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have played very few T20 matches in recent times, have managed to get a place in the former fast bowler’s team. .
Speaking to Sportskida, Sreesanth said, ‘Whether Rohit Sharma is playing or not is a big question. Rohit Sharma will be the captain as he has won many titles for Mumbai Indians. Depending on the situation, either Rohit or Hardik Pandya will be the skipper. ‘Mr’ has also included Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in his Indian T20 World Cup squad. He said that if Rishabh Pant is fit then he will also be in the team as the third wicketkeeper as he is a match winner but he may need time to settle into this setup.

Notably, Pant has been out of the Indian team since he was seriously injured in a road accident in December last year. However, he has now started practicing. As a bowler, he has replaced Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. He said that with Pant in mind, I am picking a 16-man squad instead of 15, which will have KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan and Pant in the wicketkeeper role. Sreesanth said that the selectors should select some players in the squad keeping in mind the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and IPL performances.
