Return of experienced player, not Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson in the Indian team of former Australia star for T20 World Cup. cricket news

Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson missed out but veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal was included as former Australia cricketer Tom Moody picked India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Moody chose Ishan as the wicketkeeping options ahead of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. Kishan and Sanju Samson missed. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal were selected as specialist openers as alternatives to Virat Kohli. This ultimately led to Gill, who enjoyed good form with Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, missing out on a surprise selection for the IPL-winning coach.

In the bowling department, Moody chose Ravindra Jadeja as the all-rounder option, while Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were the specialist options. Chahal has been brilliant so far in IPL 2024 and recently became the first bowler to complete 200 wickets in the competition.

Meanwhile, Gill is optimistic about his chances when it comes to making the squad for the T20 World Cup, but said it would be disappointing if he is not included despite having a good IPL season.

“I played the 50-over World Cup last year and it was a dream for me to represent my country in the World Cup. If I am able to make it to this year’s T20 World Cup, it will be a dream come true.” “The experience from last year’s World Cup will help me in trying to win the World Cup,” he said in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Tom Moody’s Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Rinku Singh, KL Rahul, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.
