A batch of Indian team led by Rohit Sharma has reached New York for the T20 World Cup 2024. BCCI has also shared a video of this. At the same time, some Indian players are yet to reach New York. Earlier, former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram has taken a dig at the absence of players.
Let us tell you that none of the players of the 15-member Indian team announced for the T20 World Cup 2024 were part of the IPL 2024 final. Yes, only KKR’s Rinku Singh participated in the final, who has been included as a reserve player.
Now Wasim Akram took a dig at this and said that now no player will say that they are tired, because they all got out before the final. The former Pakistani cricketer further said that this could prove beneficial for the Indian side.
Nowadays the level of fitness is also very high – Wasim Akram
Well, now at least none of them will have to say that they are tired. They were thinking ahead, what does it mean to reach the final, India is more important, we will play with the country. But this could be a boon for India, Akram said while speaking on Sportskeeda.
He further said, we discussed in the last show that I was worried that they will get tired and they will be tired, no doubt about it. Even America is not their route. If I remember, Pakistan’s first match is Dallas. Now they will go there and play one or two practice matches. It will be fine. I think it is T20. The boys will recover and the fitness level is also very high nowadays.
