At that time he had to focus on ODI cricket and World Test Championship. Now we are moving towards T20 cricket and their focus should be on this format. Former Indian selector expressed his views regarding the final team of T20 World Cup Regarding the final team of T20 World Cup 2024, MSK Prasad said, ‘I think players like Virat and Rohit and Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Jadeja and Hardik should definitely be included in the team. These are all important aspects of the team. There are some other places where I would like to keep Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson. If KL Rahul does wicketkeeping then who will be your second keeper? What if Rishabh Pant is fit or Ishan Kishan is ready? If both these players remain fit then who will play in the top order? I don’t think we need a player like him in the top order.
