T20 WC 2022: Team India’s 4 Standby Players
Mohammed Shami, Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, Shreyas Iyer Set To Fly To
Australia With Team
T20 WC 2022: Team India won
the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007. The Men in Blue made it all
the way to the final and defeated Pakistan to win their maiden title in South
Africa.
However, since then, they
failed to make a bid for the second title. The last time they came too close to
winning the title was back in the 2014 edition.
The Men in Blue surrendered
at the hands of Sri Lanka in the final. However, with plenty of resources this
time around and with all the bases covered, they should be looking to make a
bid for the second title.
The all-important tournament
will be held in Australia. The tournament will kick off from October 16 onwards
and it comes to a close on November 13.
Australia are the defending champions of the tournament. The Men
in Yellow beat the Black Caps in the final to win their maiden T20 World Cup
accolade.
Moreover, most of the top
teams have a well-balanced squad. As a result, we can expect one heck of a competition
this time around in Australia.
T20 WC 2022: India’s standby
players to fly to Australia with the team
The Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2022
to be held in Australia. Some players failed to make the cut in the squad.
However, they are named in
the standby players’ list. They are none other than Mohammed Shami, Deepak
Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi and Shreyas Iyer.
Nonetheless, the
aforementioned players will fly all the way to Australia with the team.
According to Cricbuzz, the selection committee, Indian team management, and the
BCCI came up with a nice decision.
All three of them decided that the four standby players will jet
off to Australia with the Indian team. They will be available to join the team
at any time.
In case any of the pacers in
the 15-man squad sustains an injury, then the likes of Mohammed Shami and
Deepak Chahar will be available for team selection.

Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain). Virat Kohli, Suryakumar
Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper). Dinesh Karthik
