Shivam Dube and Yuzvendra Chahal secure spots in India’s 15-player squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant are designated as the two wicketkeepers in the provisional squad announced by the BCCI on April 30, reports Cricket Live Score.
Pant returns to competitive cricket after recovering from a car accident in late December 2022, which sidelined him for a year and a half. He has amassed 251 runs in 11 IPL matches this season, boasting a strike rate of 158.57.
Contrarily, Rinku Singh, known for his finishing prowess, misses out on the 15-player squad. He finds himself in the traveling reserves alongside Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed. Despite an impressive T20I debut last August with an average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.23, Singh’s IPL performance this year has been below par. In 9 innings for KKR, he has scored only 123 runs at a strike rate of 150.
