As we gear up towards the 2024 T20 World Cup, here are all the latest and live updates including reports, speculations and more surrounding India’s squad announcement for the event.
The 2024 T20 World Cup is set to be played in America and the Caribbean through the month of June, starting right after the completion of IPL 2024. As the form and fortunes of players in the reckoning move up and down through the IPL, so do the reports and speculations surrounding their spots in India’s squad for the T20 World Cup.
There has been much speculation around Kohli’s place in the T20 World Cup squad. Until Match 23 of IPL 2024, he is the highest scorer with more than 300 runs in five games, but his strike rate has been a bone of contention. However, according to a Cricbuzz report, he is “almost certain” to be included in the squad.

India have a problem of plenty as far as wicketkeeping options are concerned in T20Is. Pant, who made a comeback to cricket after more than a year, has made two fifties already and is looking close to being back to his best.
According to Cricbuzz‘s report, the Indian management “is believed to be convinced that he is ready for international action”, and is set to be preferred over his several other competitors for the role unless his fortunes nosedive in the coming weeks.
Mayank has burst on the scene like a bolt from the blue in IPL 2024, consistently touching the high 150 kphs and troubling the best of batters. According to reports, there is a temptation of picking the 21-year-old for the T20 World Cup, however, his fitness – he is currently injured with a side strain – is something the selectors will keep a close eye on before making the call.

The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is supposed to announce the squad for the T20 World Cup in the first week of May, by when more than half of the league stage of IPL 2024 will be over, giving them ample time to judge the form and fitness of players in their radar.
