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

T20 World Cup 2024: The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is in full flow, as the season has gotten off to a wonderful start as the ten IPL teams battle it out against each other to get their hands on the precious IPL Trophy. But, there is one topic that will dominate the discussions during the 2024 Tata IPL, which is the ICC T20 World Cup, 2024, as the tournament is going to start just five days after the conclusion of IPL 2024.



India?s squad for this year's mega event is slated to be announced in the final week of April. All the Indian players would be looking to perform well in IPL 2024, which will help them cement their spots in India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup.



Former Indian pace bowling all-rounder Irfan Pathan, in an interview with ESPNcricinfo, picked the Men in Blue's likely squad for this year's mega event. In his squad, he mentioned the importance of Virat Kohli for the Indian squad and completely quashed the rumors of him getting dropped from the team in the shortest format of the game.



Alongside Rohit and Virat, the younger Pathan also included the likes of Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and all these players will be expected to handle the Indian batting unit. Pathan also included Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja as the all-rounders but left out the likes of Shivam Dube, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar.



The most controversial topic for the squad of the Rohit Shamra led team is the position of the wicketkeeper, as no player has cemented his place as a wicketkeeper. Irfan wants to see the return of Rishabh Pant to the Men in Blue squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup and has also included Jitesh Sharma and KL Rahul as backups. He said that at least two of these players must board India's flight to the USA and West Indies for the 2024 T20 World Cup. He didn't find any space for the likes of Ishan Kishan, RR Captain Sanju Samson, and Dhruv Jurel in his predicted squad.

The 39-year-old took a straight forward decision to include the wrist-spin duo of Ravi Bishnoi and Kuldeep Yadav in his team, as the duo have been regularly featuring for the Men in Blue in the shortest format of the game since the end of the 2023 ODI World Cup. RR leggie Yuzvendra Chahal was not able to find a space in Irfan?s team. Yuzi has not featured in any game for India since August 2023.



Talking about the pace bowling department, the experienced duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj made the cut in Irfan Pathan?s team. But, he made a surprise inclusion of LSG seamer Mohsin Khan as the third-pace bowler. The 39-year-old said that one of Mohsin or Arshdeep should get picked in India's squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Gujarat Titans (GT) clinched their sixth win, solidifying their lead atop the table with a clinical performance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). GT's top order, led by Shubman Gill's 90, Sai Sudharsan's half-century, and Jos Buttler's unbeaten 41, powered them past 200. KKR, opting to bowl, couldn't break through early and crumbled in their chase, suffering their fifth loss. Mohammed Siraj struck first, and spinners Rashid Khan, Sai Kishore, and Washington Sundar, along with Prasidh Krishna, dismantled KKR's batting. Despite Ajinkya Rahane's half-century, KKR's lineup faltered, with GT's sharp fielding sealing a dominant victory.

Struggling KKR (3 wins in 7 matches) face table-toppers GT (5 wins in 7 matches) at Eden Gardens. KKR's batting has been inconsistent, with Rahane, de Kock and others failing to chase even modest totals, while their bowlers have performed well. GT, led by in-form Shubman Gill, have been dominant with strong contributions from Buttler, Sudarshan and their bowling attack. The Eden Gardens pitch, initially a point of controversy, is now more spin-friendly but should still allow competitive scores around 180-190. GT have won 2 of their 4 past meetings against KKR.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has reportedly asked the BCCI to ban commentators Simon Doull and Harsha Bhogle from Eden Gardens after they criticized the pitch curator for not favoring KKR. The CAB defended the curator, stating he followed rules against franchise interference. As a result, Doull and Bhogle will miss KKR’s next match, with the BCCI’s decision pending. Eden Gardens is still set to host the IPL 2025 final.
