The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is all set to kickstart on June 2 in the USA and West Indies. A total of 20 teams will compete with each other for the coveted trophy. The Indian cricket team is expected to be among the top contenders, aiming to secure their second title after their triumph in the inaugural edition in 2007.
Notably, it was in 2013 when the Indian cricket team last won an ICC trophy, when they won the ICC Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. Since then, the Indian team has been struggling to get their hands on the prestigious trophy. India has reached several knockout matches but hasn’t been able to clinch another title, including the recent ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
To bolster their chances in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India needs a formidable squad. Here, in this article, we bring you a few names who were a part of India’s ODI World Cup 2023 squad of India, but won’t be able to make it in the T20I World Cup 2024 squad.
List Of ODI World Cup 2023 Stars Who Are Unlikely To Get Selected In T20I World Cup 2024 Squad. Have a look:
1. Shubman Gill:
India’s young and talented player Shubman Gill was picked as India’s opener in the 2023 ODI World Cup. However, with the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, probably, Gill may not be selected for the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
2. Ishan Kishan:
Ishan Kishan played as India’s backup opener and wicketkeeper-batter in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Despite this, he was excluded from central contracts earlier this year and is expected to miss the 2024 T20 World Cup squad.
3. Shreyas Iyer:
Shreyas Iyer showcased his batting prowess by scoring 530 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup. However, similar to Ishan Kishan, Shreyas was also dropped from the central contracts last month. Consequently, he is unlikely to be selected for India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
4. Mohammed Shami:
Mohammed Shami emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the ODI World Cup 2023, playing a pivotal role in India’s campaign. However, he is set to miss the T20 World Cup 2024 due to injury.
5. R Ashwin:
R Ashwin represented Team India in the 2023 World Cup. However, there is minimal likelihood that he will be selected for the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
6. Shardul Thakur:
Shardul Thakur participated in four matches during the ODI World Cup 2023 for India but hasn’t featured in any T20Is since February 2022. Consequently, he is unlikely to be considered for the 2024 T20 World Cup squad.
7. Prasidh Krishna:
Prasidh Krishna was included in India’s ODI World Cup 2023 squad as a replacement for Hardik Pandya but didn’t get a chance to play. He is currently sidelined due to an injury, so he won’t be considered for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
