Summary: India announces its T20 men’s World Cup squad for 2024, which will take place on June 5.

The squad for India’s T20 Men’s World Cup has been released. Rohit Sharma will lead the men’s T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies.

India’s squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024:

Axar Patel

Kuldeep Yadav

Yuzvendra Chahal

Arshdeep Singh

Jasprit Bumrah

Mohammed Siraj

Reserves: Shubhman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan

India's spin-heavy bowling squad includes Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace unit with Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and vice-captain Hardik Pandya.

The selection of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Suryakumar Yadav was no surprise, as all were expected to back the top order along with skipper Rohit Sharma.

Despite his outstanding performance as a finisher for KKR in IPL 2024, Rinku Singh only managed to find his place in the reserves along with Shubhman Gill, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan.

A big name and star batter missing from India's squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is KL Rahul. Also, this would be Rishab Pant’s first appearance in international cricket matches after his nearly fatal accident.

India is in Group A of the competition, alongside archrival Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, and co-hosts the United States. Their campaign starts off on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, followed by a match against Pakistan in one of the most anticipated T20 World Cup matches.
