The Men in Blue will play their opening match of the upcoming T20I World Cup 2022 on October 23 against Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground. India is part of group 2 in the tournament with teams like Pakistan, South Africa, and Bangladesh in their pool.
The Men in Blue have already begun their preparations for the upcoming T20I World Cup 2022, arriving in Perth early and taking part in a practice match against Western Australia XI ahead of official warm-up matches against world champions Australia and New Zealand next week.
Rohit Sharma-led team will head into the ICC T20I World Cup 2022 starting later this month will an aim to win their first title since the inaugural triumph under MS Dhoni back in 2007. After a disappointing showing in the T20I World Cup 2021 where they failed to reach the semifinals, the Rohit Sharma-led team will look for a much better showing down under in Australia.
India T20 World Cup 2022 Squad
India’s Initial Squad for T20 World Cup 2022: Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul (VC), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dinesh Karthik (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh
Backup players – Mohammed Shami, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Chahar
But out of those 15 players that were selected in the main squad, the team’s star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, was later ruled out of the entire tournament due to a back injury. India is yet to announce their replacement for Jasprit Bumrah as the Men in Blue fret over the fitness of Mohammed Shami and Deepak Chahar.
Both are currently at the NCA with Mohammed Shami set for a fitness test after a spell of COVID-19. The ICC deadline for replacements has passed and the Men in Blue will now have to seek ICC’s approval to make changes to their squad.
