KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav were named to India’s World Cup 2023 roster on Tuesday by BCCI head of selectors Ajit Agarkar. Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin did not make the cut. The deadline for all cricket boards to reveal their squads was September 5th, one month before the event began. While other teams have quickly finalised their 15-man lineups, Team India has chosen to keep things a secret until the very last minute. Nonetheless, it is quite doubtful that any last-minute changes will be made. With a few exceptions, India’s World Cup squad is expected to closely reflect the roster of players currently competing in the Asia Cup campaign.Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna, and Sanju Samson are the most likely contenders to be cut from the squad, though they could be labelled as reserves and stand-by players. This World Cup is extremely important for India because it represents a golden opportunity to win the prized 50-over championship after coming agonisingly close in the previous two editions. Furthermore, history will be made this time, as India will host the full tournament for the first time, raising the stakes even higher. After a year marred by injuries and periodic troubles, India now has a squad free of the clutches of injury.The majority of them are anticipated to gain a position in an exclusive group that will compete for the top reward in international cricket. The stage is set, and the excitement is evident as India prepares to start on this historic adventure.
