Team India announced their squad for ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The highly anticipated preliminary 15-person squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 was recently revealed. As the tournament begins on October 5 with a match between champions England and runners-up New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has set a deadline of September 5 for the release of the preliminary squad.
The selection committee’s primary discussion topic was the wicketkeeper’s position, specifically whether KL Rahul will be selected for the position. Rahul was initially chosen for the Asia Cup 2023 team, but due to a new injury, he was unable to play in India’s two preliminary matches against Pakistan and Nepal. In Rahul’s absence, Ishan Kishan stepped up and did an admirable job.
