IPL form barely considered for India T20 World Cup squad, skipper Sharma says

Associated Press  

MUMBAI, India — Captain Rohit Sharma says current Indian Premier League form was hardly a factor when it came to picking India’s squad for the T20 World Cup. After their T20 World Cup exit in November 2022, the batting stars didn’t play another Twenty20 for India until this past January, when Afghanistan visited. “These players have been around because they have been good enough, that’s why they have played multiple World Cups,” chief selector Ajit Agarkar said. It just boils down to the day.” Lokesh Rahul played at the last two T20 World Cup and in the Cricket World Cup late last year but has missed out this time.
