After the conclusion of the ODI World Cup 2023, the Indian cricket team’s focus has turned towards the T20 format as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024. India’s last T20 World Cup victory was in 2007, and in the previous edition, they were defeated England in the semi-finals. This has raised concerns over the performance of veteran players such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both players have not participated in T20Is since the last year’s semi-finals, giving opportunities to younger players.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has left the decision of their participation in the 2024 T20 World Cup to Kohli and Sharma, with their performance in the Indian Premier League likely to be a key factor.
In breaking news, it has been reported that Virat Kohli will miss the upcoming South Africa tour’s white-ball leg. Kohli has communicated to the BCCI that he needs a break from white-ball cricket and will focus on playing Tests in the South African tour. This means that he will be available for selection for the two Test matches in South Africa.
Meanwhile, there is no clarity on Rohit Sharma’s decision regarding T20Is. After an outstanding performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma has yet to make a decision about his participation in T20Is. A meeting is expected to occur between BCCI officials and Rohit in the coming days to discuss his future in the shortest format of the game.
