In the current IPL, many players are seen performing well continuously. Team India will be selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup keeping in mind the first phase of IPL. Cricket experts and former cricketers are sharing their opinions on social media about what the Indian team should be like and which players should get a chance for the T20 World Cup 2024 to be held in America and West Indies in June. Meanwhile, former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad has given his opinion on how the team should be and which players should get a chance in the team.
Venkatesh Prasad expressed his opinion about including these players in the team for T20 WC 2024.
Venkatesh Prasad said that Shivam Dubey and Rinku Singh should be included in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024. In this year’s IPL, Shivam Dubey has performed brilliantly for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since his first match. He has scored runs at a strike rate of more than 160. Dubey’s contribution could be invaluable in spin-friendly conditions in the West Indies. Not only this, it was also said by him that Dubey can be given a chance in the playing eleven along with Suryakumar Yadav and Rinku Singh.
Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability. It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave…

Which players should not be included in T20 WC 2024?
The former cricketer’s tweet regarding the playing eleven shows that it will be difficult for Hardik to make a place in the World Cup team. Because along with mentioning the above three players, he also said that due to the presence of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma in the team, the management will consider only the wicketkeeper-batsman position.
Prasad said in a tweet, “Shivam Dubey for his ability to play big shots against spin, Surya (Kumar Yadav) the best international batsman in T20 and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability; If the Indian management finds a way to include all three of them together in the playing eleven in the T20 World Cup, it will be very beneficial. With the presence of Virat and Rohit in the team, there will be only one wicket-keeping batsman after these five.”
In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether the team will be formed keeping these issues in mind or not. Let us tell you that the Indian team for the upcoming World Cup can be announced by the end of April. As per ICC guidelines, the last date to submit teams for the World Cup is May 1. After this, each team will have only one chance to make changes till May 25.
