Talking
points

India
will
be
eager
to
land
a
second
T20
World
Cup
after
their
triumph
in
the
inaugural
edition
in
2007.
In
the
last
few
series,
India
have
been
trying
different
combinations
and
players
in
their
effort
to
fix
a
settled
15
for
the
big
event
to
be
held
in
Australia
next
month.

However,
India
still
have
not
zeroed
on
certain
positions
and
that
will
come
up
for
debate
when
the
selectors
sit
together
with
team
management
to
pick
India
squad
for
the
T20
World
Cup
2022.

The
fitness
of
Jasprit
Bumrah,
Deepak
Chahar,
though
he
had
replaced
Avesh
Khan
in
the
Asia
Cup
2022
squad,
and
Harshal
Patel
will
come
for
close
scrutiny
in
the
meeting.
India
felt
the
absence
of
the
trio
in
the
Asia
Cup
held
in
UAE,
as
they
failed
to
cross
the
line
in
two
closely
contested
matches
against
Pakistan
and
Sri
Lanka
in
the
Super
4,
thus
failing
to
enter
the
final.

There
could
be
3
spinners
but
R
Ashwin,
Yuzvendra
Chahal,
Axar
Patel
and
Ravi
Bishnoi
will
compete
for
those
places.
All
three
have
had
their
moments
in
the
Asia
Cup
2022
and
the
selectors
will
look
into
opposition
team
composition
and
Australian
conditions
before
arriving
at
a
decision.

Points
like
Ashwin’s
proficiency
against
left-handers,
and
Bishnoi’s
usefulness
as
fielder
and
Axar’s
increasing
prowess
with
the
bat
as
well
etc
will
be
pondered
over.
