If he is fit, there is no substitute for what he can do. Agarkar Said that he is making a comeback after a long time from injury. We hope he is working on it. He can give a lot of options and balance to Rohit when bowling. Hardik has recovered from an ankle injury before the IPL.

Big update: Team India will not tour Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025
Indian Cricket Team (Image Credit- Twitter) Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has given a big statement regarding India-Pakistan cricket relations. He said that if Team India tours Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, they will consider a bilateral series with India. In 2021, Pakistan was named as the host of the Champions. Next year’s Champions Trophy is one of the biggest tournaments to be held in that country. This will be the first time that Pakistan will host an ICC tournament in its entirety since the 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan national cricket team. According to sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Team India may refuse to go to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy. He has also said that changing the venue for this tournament or implementing a hybrid model can also be considered. The source also said that it is important to obtain permission from the government to visit Pakistan, and given the current tense relations between the two countries, it may be difficult to get permission. Team India will not go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025 A BCCI source was quoted by NDTV as saying, “Forget bilateral series… Team India cannot even tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. The venue may change, so a hybrid model is also possible. The Indian board will need permission from the government to tour, currently our relations with Pakistan are also not that good. Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it will be a difficult decision for India, but without the government’s order/green signal, I don’t see it happening in the near future, it’s impossible. The last bilateral series between India and Pakistan was played in 2012–13. India had refused to go to Pakistan to participate in the Asia Cup in 2023. As a result, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) adopted a hybrid model for the event, with Sri Lanka co-hosting with Pakistan. India and Pakistan last faced each other in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Ajit Agarkar and Rohit’s meeting regarding T-20 World Cup will be held on this date, this big player’s card may be cut
Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar can meet captain Rohit Sharma on April 28 to make the final selection of the team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. According to media reports, Indian selectors can hold a meeting with captain Rohit Sharma in Delhi on 27th or 28th April because Rohit Sharma will be present in Delhi on this day. Actually, Mumbai Indians’ match with Delhi Capitals is on 27th April in Delhi, where the selectors will also be present. Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is going to be a lot of discussion in this meeting regarding the place of wicketkeeper. Jitesh Sharma, who was leading in this race, ipl 2024 They have failed to perform well in the current edition of the IPL, while players like Sanju Samson, Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant have performed brilliantly so far. After this, there can be a big discussion regarding the number four slot also. Rohit Sharma and Ajit Agarkar will talk on many issues regarding T20 World Cup Apart from this, there can also be a lot of discussion regarding the fast bowling unit. Jasprit Bumrah has cemented his place in the team, but Mohammed Siraj, whose name was earlier considered almost certain, has failed miserably in IPL 2024. In such a situation, now it has to be seen whether the selectors and the team management support Siraj for the T20 World Cup or trust someone else. The selectors have options like Arshdeep Singh, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Vaibhav Arora or Khalil Ahmed for the mega tournament. According to a report in Dainik Jagran, Rohit and Agarkar will also talk about Yuzvendra Chahal, who was not included in the BCCI central contract at the beginning of the year. However, the leg spinner has performed brilliantly in the IPL so far, taking 12 wickets at an average of 18.08 in seven matches. They also have the option of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi as specialist spinners. Hardik Pandya’s form is also a topic of discussion. The new captain of Mumbai Indians has not been able to prove himself yet in IPL 2024 and there is a lot of pressure on him at this time. However, with India not having many options in terms of fast bowling all-rounders, Pandya may get a place in the 15-member squad. Players like Shivam Dubey, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh will also be discussed during the meeting.
