T20I World Cup: After the conclusion of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Rahul Dravid's contract had expired, and a couple of IPL franchises had even contacted Dravid to become their coach, but the BCCI instead decided to offer him a contract extension. Along with the 50-year-old, the contracts of the rest of the coaching staff have been extended as well. According to Cricbuzz, their contracts have been extended until the T20I World Cup.



The main reason behind BCCI deciding to continue with Dravid as the head coach of the Men in Blue was to guarantee the continuity of the foundation he had set as a coach over the previous two years, which would otherwise be disturbed under a new coach.

Under Rahul Dravid, Team India became the No. 1 team in all 3 formats of the game, retaining the Border Gavaskar Trophy vs Australia at home, winning the Asia Cup 2023, going to the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, and finishing as the runners-up in the recently concluded ICC Men?s Cricket World Cup.

Dravid's next assignment with Team India as their head coach starts with the Tour of South Africa, which includes 3 T20's, 3 ODI's, and 2 Test matches in December. The Men in Blue then host England for a five-match test series that starts in the month of January and ends in the first week of March. The final assignment of Rahul Dravid and his coaching staff with the Indian team will be the T20 Cricket World Cup in June, after which their contracts will expire.

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/t20-world-cup/icc-mens-t20-world-cup-2024/" rel="nofollow">T20 World Cup 2024</a>:?West Indies Cricket Board?(WICB)?revealed the West Indies Squad for the upcoming ICC Tournament, which is scheduled to start on June 02. West Indies and USA are the host nations of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 but most of the matches will be played in West Indies. The Team looks pretty good but some of the experienced players are missed out in the squad.



Rovman Powell will be leading the West Indies Men's Cricket Team in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, he has quite a decent record in T20Is as a skipper but he needs to lead the team from the front. Powell is struggling with the form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as he has scored 64 runs in the five matches played so far in the tournament.??



The Key&nbsp;players like Andre Russell, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran are added to the squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. However, some players like Sunil Narine and Sheldon Cottrell aren't playing in the tournament, the unavailability of Sunil Narine will be a major drawback for the West Indies as he is in terrific form in the TATA IPL 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Sunil Narine Wasn't Considered in the WI's T20 World Cup 2024 Squad:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Sunil-Narine.jpg" alt="West Indies Announces Strong 15-Member Squad for T20 World Cup 2024" class="wp-image-64419" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sunil Narine</figcaption></figure>



Sunil Narine is playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the TATA IPL 2024, he gave a superb start to the team with his robust batting in the powerplay. Narine has played 10 matches in this edition and scored 269 runs, he is not playing in the T20 World Cup 2024 for West Indies due to some personal reasons.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shamar Joseph got a maiden call for the T20 World Cup?</h2>



The Youngster Shamar Joseph will be playing his first World Cup for West Indies after getting his maiden call in the T20 World Cup 2024 as he has impressed everyone with his excellent bowling skills. Joseph made his test debut earlier this year and played his first test match against Australia, he took seven wickets in the match.



It is a good addition by Wi's Team Management, he will be the trump card for the West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Addition of Shamar Joseph will strengthen the bowling unit of the team in the upcoming tournament.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">West Indies Squad T20 World Cup 2024:</h2>



Rovman Powell (Captain), Alzarri Joseph, Johnson Charles, Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Akeal Hossain, Shamar Joseph, Brandon King, Gudakesh Motie, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd.
