Indian cricket team's selection committee chairman, Ajit Agarkar, along with two national selectors -- Shiv Sunder Das and Salil Ankola, are at Newlands where India will play South Africa in the second Test match of the ongoing bilateral series. ()
India's T20I squad for the Afghanistan series is expected to be announced after Agarkar & Co. speak with head coach Rahul Dravid, ODI and Test skipper Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli.
Apart from the Afghanistan series, there is a T20 World Cup this year in June, to be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America. The Indian selection committee is keeping a sharp eye on the 'selected pool' of 25 to 30 players during the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the World Cup team will be announced accordingly.
바카라Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya aren바카라t fit. The Afghanistan series won바카라t tell you anything. Everything will be decided based on the first month of IPL,바카라 a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
The BCCI brass knows that they can바카라t tell any franchise to optimally use a potential pick for the T20 World Cup which will be held in June-July after the IPL concludes in the last week of May.
바카라The BCCI can never tell a franchise to manage a star player바카라s workload unless it바카라s a case of injury management,바카라 the source added.
The selection committee is looking for two players for each slot as there can be issues of injury or fitness during the IPL. So, two players for one slot will be monitored and like-for-like replacements will be ready if needed.
