The 15-member squad of the Indian Cricket Team for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup will likely be named in the final week of April. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a deadline date of May 1st for the submission of squads for all the participating nations. The participating nations will be allowed to make changes to their squads until May 25th.



The 2024 T20 World Cup will kick off on June 2, and this year's mega event will be hosted by the USA and West Indies.



?India?s squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup will be selected in the final week of April, post the conclusion of the first half of the IPL, which gives the Indian Selection Committee the time to assess the fitness and form of the shortlisted players,? a senior source from BCCI told PTI.



?The first batch of the selected players will be leaving for the United States immediately after the conclusion of the league phase of the 2024 Tata IPL on May 19. The players of the teams that don't qualify for the playoffs will be leaving for the USA early, like it happened during the 2023 WTC final,? the BCCI source added.



Since the 2024 T20 World Cup is going to take place in the USA and West Indies, it's anticipated that some stand-by players will be given permission to travel with the selected squad, and in case of any injuries or last-minute pullouts, the stand-by players can replace those players on an immediate basis.



This time around, India's national selectors are traveling on a regular basis to watch the majority of the IPL matches in order to assess the form and fitness of the shortlisted players, unlike in previous World Cup editions, where the selectors used to travel to watch just a selected number of games and then watch the other games on television.

It's been learned that no instructions regarding workload management have been given to the 2024 World Cup contenders since this season's IPL is completely under the control of the IPL franchises.



?If any player holding a central contact of the BCCI or a shortlisted player ends up getting injured, then that player?s case will automatically be transferred to the medical team of the NCA,? the BCCI source said.



?Also for the contracted players and shortlisted players (India A and Emerging India), the S &amp; C physios and coaches need to stay in touch with the NCA. But, when the players are under the contract of the IPL franchises, BCCI cannot decide the number of matches the shortlisted players can play. In the case of the bowlers, they just have to bowl four overs,? the BCCI source added.

T20 WC 2024: India's T20 World Cup squad is set to be selected in April's last?week

The anticipation for the T20 World Cup 2024 has grown and it won't be a misleading statement to say that it is at its peak, ahead of the tournament starter on June 1. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (<a href="https://www.bcci.tv/articles/2024/news/55556111/india-s-squad-for-icc-men-s-t20-world-cup-2024-announced">BCCI</a>) announced Team India's T20 World Cup squad, which certainly didn't have any surprise elements, but it certainly had some shocking omissions.



The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee on Tuesday (April 30) revealed Team India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and the USA. The 15-member squad will be led by Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, who will act as the deputy.



The likes of Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Mohammad Siraj and Yuzvendra Chahal among others have all made it to the final squad to travel to the other continent for the World Cup event.



However, what sparked a controversy was the omission of Rinku Singh, who was anticipated to be in the final 15-member squad for Team India. The fans felt a bit of a shock as they couldn't comprehend the rationale for excluding Rinku Singh, who has been in such magnificent form in T20s over the last few months.



Not just the fans, some experts have indicated that given his powerful performances in the colours of Team India, the batter shouldn't have been ignored by the selectors.



However, it's noteworthy that Rinku Singh has been named in the reserve player list. India's four-member reserve list includes Rinku Singh with Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmad.



Talking about the stats and performances, Rinku Singh has been on song as far as his international career is concerned. After making his T20I debut against Ireland in 2023, Rinku has gone on to play 15 T20Is in which he has amassed 356 runs at an average of 89. The batter boasts an impressive strike rate of 176.24 in his short career.



Despite doing so well internationally, his exclusion was certainly a shock. However, the decision to not have him in Team India's main squad might have stemmed from his current form in the IPL 2024, which hasn't been great.



The KKR batter has just secured 123 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 150, which is quite low to his usual standards. 



However, the debate has picked the fire among the netizens, who seem to be upset with the Indian selectors. The fans took to X (formerly Twitter) in support of the batter and did a series of tweets. 



"Sorry Rinku Singh done everything in T20I for India in the toughest position in the last one year but not in the World Cup squad. We've failed you. Rinku Singh deserves a chance in team India," wrote a Twitter user.



Below are a few of them:
