New Delhi. Team India for the ODI World Cup to be held in India will be announced next week. This time the World Cup is going to be held entirely in India. The tournament will run from October 5 to November 19. According to media reports, the Indian cricket team for this will be announced on September 5. A day before this, India will face Nepal in the Asia Cup. India’s first match in the World Cup is against Australia on October 8.

However, the World Cup squad is almost decided. Due to KL Rahul’s fitness, Team India’s difficulties have definitely increased. He will not play in the first two matches of the Asia Cup. In such a situation, it remains to be seen whether he gets a place in the World Cup team or not. Let us tell you that all the teams participating in the World Cup will have to submit their preliminary squad list to the ICC by September 5.

It is reported that the selectors’ meeting to select the World Cup squad will be held in Kandy itself, where India is scheduled to play its first two matches in the Asia Cup. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar will reach Kandy for this. That means the group matches against Pakistan and Nepal are important for the players participating in the Asia Cup. Especially for players who are returning to Team India after injury. Among them, KL Rahul will not play in the first two matches of the Asia Cup while Shreyas Iyer will get a chance to play. If Iyer is returning from injury, he will have to prove his match fitness.

BCCI has selected 17 players for the Asia Cup. 15 players are to be selected for the World Cup. There is a possibility that Tilak Verma and other players like Shardul Thakur or the famous Krishna may have to be left out of the World Cup squad. Shardul is batting well, there is a strong possibility of Krishna getting out. If KL Rahul doesn’t get fit in time, Sanju Samson could be a lottery pick and cut his ticket to the World Cup. Sanju has also been included as a reserve player in the Asia Cup.

Controversy in Asia Cup before IND vs PAK match, fans cursed PCB, why did Jai Shah’s name pop up?
