India is gearing up for the upcoming ICC T20I World Cup 2024 with high hopes and expectations. As the tournament enters the United States of America for the first time, India aims to break the shackles and secure their first ICC title in over a decade. The Indian squad, led by captain Rohit Sharma, is slated to kick off their campaign with a match against Ireland on June 05, 2024. However, the tournament officially commences on June 02, setting the stage for an exciting series of matches. With the squad for the ICC tournament yet to be finalized, the Chairman of the selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, is currently on holiday but is expected to return to India later this month. The imminent meeting between Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar is eagerly anticipated as they will collaborate to determine the 15-man squad for the World Cup. The meeting is scheduled to take place in Delhi on the 28th and 29th of April, coinciding with the Mumbai Indians’ clash against Delhi Capitals in the ongoing IPL 2024. There have been speculations regarding the squad announcement date, with reports suggesting a selection committee meeting on April 30 to finalize the players. Conflicting information indicates that the official squad announcement might be delayed. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the announcement, preparations are in full swing as BCCI Secretary Jay Shah and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar have already convened at the ITC Narmada Hotel in Ahmedabad for a crucial selection meeting. As the deadline set by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for all participating nations to submit their squads looms on May 1, Team India is expected to unveil their roster post the pivotal meeting between Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar in Delhi. The anticipation and excitement surrounding India’s squad selection for the ICC T20I World Cup 2024 continue to build up, promising an enthralling tournament ahead.
