T20 World Cup 2022: India is on a constant spree as they haven't stopped playing since the 2-month-long Indian Premier League (IPL) ended in May. After South Africa, Ireland, and England, team India is gearing up to face the West Indies in three-match ODI series followed by a five-match T20I series. India will also play the T20I World Cup in Australia this year and they are considered one of the favorites to clinch the trophy. Keeping the multi-nation event in mind, the Indian team management has been trying youngsters who can feature in the probable squad and it seems like the experiments will continue in the West Indies series too.
5 players who look like making the cut
Looking at South Africa, Ireland and the England T20I matches, for the time being, 5 players look like a certainty in the final squad that will take the flight to Australia in October. Skipper Rohit Sharma, the centurion of the last T20I match against England, Suryakumar Yadav, pacer Jasprit Bumrah, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya and spinner Yuzi Chahal will all feature in the Indian side and the stakes on them will be extremely high when India start their World Cup campaign. Apart from all these five players, Harshal Patel, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja will also make the cut.
