India have Announced their Squad for T20 World Cup 2022
India has finally announced their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The two picked bowlers are Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshal Patel, who topped Ravi Bishnoi’s bids in preference to him along with Avesh Khan as well.
The Rohit Sharma-led squad is set to take the field without their ace allrounder, Ravindra Jadeja. He had recently undergone surgery on his injured right knee and will be replaced by Axar Patel like for like replacement.
India’s decision to go with four pacers and Hardik Pandya as the fifth option backfired in Asia Cup 2022, but now they have Pike Chauhan (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), Arshdeep Singh/Jasprit Bumrah & Harshal Patel, who can make all bowl fast. The fight for places is heating up ahead of World T20.
