Shubman Gill and Rinku Singh were also major exclusions from the 15-member squad but both cricketers were included in the reserve list. Fast bowlers Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan also found a place in the reserve list and they can find a place in case of an injury or a change in strategy.
This will also be the first international competition for Rishabh Pant who has been missing in action since his near-fatal car accident in 2022. The wicket-keeper batter has performed well in the IPL 2024 till now and his show for Delhi Capitals has earned him a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad.
