Team India has done a decent job since captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid took charge after the 2021 T20 World Cup last November.
They have beaten New Zealand, England and West Indies quite comfortably. However, they couldn’t do the same against the Proteas.
They’ve already tried 28 players in T20Is since the last World Cup while giving opportunities to some young guns specifically in the bowling department.
But things haven’t gone India’s way in the Asia Cup where they’ve already lost to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super Four and have very bleak chances to qualify for the final.
The selection committee might take a few tough calls considering they’ve got just 6 more international games before the World Cup in Australia.
The team was doing pretty well before some injury concerns halted their momentum.
While Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel got injured before the Asia Cup, Ravindra Jadeja got injured after the Hong Kong game.
Reports have suggested that Jadeja has been ruled out of 2022 T20 World Cup due to a knee injury, which makes the selection of squad even more complicated.
Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid might take the Afghanistan game as the last opportunity to try some different combination as the selectors need to submit a preliminary squad by September 16 to the ICC.
India’s Predicted Squad For ICC T20 World Cup 2022
Considering the recent performance here’s how the squad might look like :
1. Rohit Sharma
Rohit will lead the side. He has looked 100% fit in the Asia Cup and his knock of 72 against Sri Lanka made sure he’s in form as well.
