Ace Indian batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma won’t be a part of the Zimbabwe tour. On the other hand, the emerging players of the IPL 2024 will get their much deserved chance. The BCCI Selection Committee are unwilling to give the youngsters directly into the ICC T20 World Cup.
The Indian Cricket Board is unwilling to take any risks for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup. Reports claim that no new faces will be seen in the Indian squad. Therefore, following the conclusion of the World Cup, for the Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka series, the emerging and top performing players of IPL 2024 will get a chance.
No Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma
With the youngsters and emerging players getting their chances, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be rested. The ace duo will get some much needed break. The absence off these two stars will pave way for the new ones to perform. The apex body believes that debuts of the emerging stars in these series will be better than directly throwing them into the fire of the T20 World Cup.
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli returned to the shortest format of the game earlier this year during the IND vs AFG T20I series. The duo will lead India’s charge in the ICC tournament. The Men in Blue are slated to take on Zimbabwe for 5-match T20I series starting from 6th July.
During the end of July, India will travel to Sri Lanka. Both the sides will lock horns for 3 ODI and 3 T20I matches.
