India’s T20 World Cup 2024 Prospects: The Road from IPL to ICC Tournament
The upcoming ICC T20 World Cup slated for June 2024 in the West Indies and America has sparked a whirlwind of anticipation and preparation among cricketing nations, with players vying for national team spots through standout performances in the IPL. Following Australia’s triumph over India in the ODI World Cup, the onus now lies on Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to lead his team to glory and break the nation’s ICC trophy drought in the shortest format of the game.
Shivam Dubey’s Rise and Potential Selection:
Chennai Super Kings’ explosive batsman Shivam Dubey has captured the spotlight with his blistering innings, earning praise from cricket pundits and former players alike. Renowned former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has advocated for Dubey’s inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup squad, emphasizing his prowess against spin bowling.

Pathan’s Recommendation and BCCI’s Response:
In a social media post, Irfan Pathan endorsed Shivam Dubey’s suitability for the T20 World Cup squad, citing his ability to tackle spinners effectively. Despite Pathan’s advocacy, the Indian squad he recently suggested for the World Cup did not include Dubey. Instead, his proposed 12-man roster featured established names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, alongside promising talents such as Mohsin Khan and Jitesh Sharma. However, BCCI Secretary Jai Shah clarified that Pathan’s support for Dubey’s inclusion would be considered under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, hinting at potential discussions within the selection panel.
Indian squad selected by Irfan – Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, Jitesh Sharma, Lokesh Rahul, Mohsin Khan, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi.
