T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1 Rinku Singh (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian cricket team’s middle order batsman Rinku Singh has not been selected for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. He is not in the 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup, but he has been selected as a reserve player. It is worth noting that due to his amazing performance in IPL 2023, Rinku was successful in making his debut for Team India. However, when Rinku made his debut for the Indian team, at that time he finished many matches with a high strike rate. After showing such an amazing game in T20 cricket, fans started speculating that Rinku Singh would be selected for the T20 World Cup. But the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has shown faith in all-rounder Shivam Dubey, who performed brilliantly in IPL 2024 for CSK, instead of Rinku. So now former Indian player RP Singh has given a big statement regarding the selection of Rinku Singh in the Indian cricket team for the T20 World Cup 2024. RP has cited the impact player rule used in IPL 2024 as a major reason for Rinku’s selection. Because of this Rinku Singh was not selected Let us tell you that in a promotional event of the Indian cricket team jersey, RP Singh said as quoted by India Today- Rinku Singh should have definitely been in the T20 World Cup team, I think his not being selected was a bit unfortunate. If there was no impact player rule, I think Rinku would have made it to the T20 World Cup team. Indian squad for T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj reserve: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan.

Tomorrow on June 1, it will play a practice match against Bangladesh, which will be the last chance to get accustomed to the conditions. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has made a big statement about Shivam Dube. Raina believes that Shivam Dubey will be the X-factor for India during the T20 World Cup 2024. He feels that based on Dubey’s brilliant batting during India’s T20I series against Afghanistan in January and then in IPL 2024, he should be included in India’s playing XI. Let us tell you that Shivam Dube performed brilliantly with the bat in the series against Afghanistan. He scored 126 runs in two innings and also took two wickets. For which he was also selected as the Player of the Series. His all-round performance played an important role in India’s series win. He can make a big difference – Suresh Raina Dubey continued his form in IPL 2024. He scored 396 runs in 14 matches while representing Chennai Super Kings. Due to his consistent performance, he has been included in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad. Speaking at the launch ceremony of the World Championship of League, Raina explained how Dubey can make a big difference with his aggressive batting. Raina said, he has to play in the World Cup. Look, the ability to stand still while hitting big sixes is very rare. Shivam Dubey can be the X-factor in India winning the World Cup. So Rohit will have to take a decision whether he wants to play Virat (Kohli) at the top, Yashasvi is also batting in a different way, if the situation comes, Shivam can also bowl for the team. Players like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant are also India’s big-hitting batsmen in the World Cup. Now it will be interesting to see how Dubey is finally used in the playing XI.

‘If you have to bench Shadab then do it’ Former Pakistani legend made a big statement before the T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup is starting from 1 June Shadab Khan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain and well-known cricket commentator Rameez Raja has made a big statement about Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan. It is worth noting that before the T20 World Cup 2024, Shadab has failed to make an impact with his performance. Shadab’s performance in the recent four-match T20 series against England was disappointing. Rameez says that Shadab has wasted the opportunities he got at number 5 in the Pakistani team and if he has to be benched in the T20 World Cup, then so be it. In the two matches played against England, Shadab was able to score only 3 runs, while he was out on a duck once. Before T20 World Cup 2024, Rameez Raja made a big statement about Shadab Khan Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Rameez Raja said about Shadab Khan through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The middle order batting flopped in the fourth T20 match against England, due to which there was a shortage of runs and we lost the match. Imad Wasim should be selected for all the matches. You can promote Sam Ayub in batting, because Shadab does not fit at number 5. He has missed the opportunities he got at this number. Rameez further said- If a proper batsman comes at number 5, then Pakistan cricket team will get more balance. I do not understand what is Shadab’s role in the team. He is not able to perform at number 5 and is out of form. If you have to bench Shadab then do it. Number 7 can be his best batting order, he tries to play like a slugger. Pakistan Cricket Team for T20 World Cup 2024: Babar Azam (captain), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhan Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Usman Khan.
