India’s T20 World Cup Squad Likely to be Announced Today, Rohit Sharma Set to Lead – Report
Dubai: The wait could be over today (September 12) now that the Asia Cup 2022 is over. The Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia could be announced on Monday as per reports. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, who have regained fitness, are set to come back to the squad. Rohit Sharma, as expected, is in all probability going to lead the side. It would be interesting to see if Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik make the squad or not. Reports suggest Dinesh Karthik is a frontrunner now, but again, nothing can be confirmed as of now.

It may very well happen that the squad for the upcoming Australia series is also announced today.
“Yes, both the squads can be named next week. Anyway, ICC Deadline to name the squads is not too far and selectors are likely to select both the squads next week.”, informed a BCCI official to InsideSport last week.
The talk is that young Arshdeep Singh may also find a spot after his splendid show in the Asia Cup in UAE. Virat Kohli coming back to some sort of form was also a big takeaway from the Asia Cup for India. All eyes would be on the announcement of the Indian squad as they would be one of the hot contenders in Australia.
It is not certain when the announcement would happen but we would certainly keep you on top of all happenings.
