According to a source within the BCCI, India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies is expected to be announced in the last week of April. This timing aligns with the ICC’s deadline for team submissions on May 1. However, teams will have the opportunity to make changes to their initial squads until May 25.
The source explained, “The Indian team selection is likely to occur towards the end of April, after the first half of the IPL concludes, allowing the national selection committee to evaluate the form and fitness of potential contenders.” The source requested anonymity while speaking to PTI.
Regarding travel arrangements, the source mentioned, “The first group of players will depart for New York immediately after the IPL league stage concludes on May 19. Players whose teams do not qualify for the final four will depart earlier, similar to arrangements made during the WTC finals last year.
