Speaking of T20, there are more and more calls for the introduction of young blood and players who can fearlessly play in the format.

Time is running out for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to finalize the Indian squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. Controversies remain over some players in the team, including talisman Rohit Shrama. The goalkeeper position is also vacant and many players are vying for this position. However, former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad has a specific idea about the batting line-up he would like to see in the Indian team.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Prasad advocated bringing in less experienced stars like Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav while also highlighting the importance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the team . Prasad just didn’t know where the wicketkeeper was.

“Shivam Dube for his amazing ability against spin, Surya for his brilliant T20 international batsman and Rinku Singh for his brilliant finishing ability. If India can find a way to get these 3 into the top 11 of the T20 WC, That would be great.” With Rohit, that will leave a spot for the wicketkeeper-batsman. It will be interesting to see how it turns out,” he posted on social media.

Interestingly, Prasad did not mention the names of Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul in the batting group.
