When Saurabh Netravalkar was selected to play for USA in the T20 World Cup 2024, did he think USA would stand a chance to go to the Super Eight stage from a group consisting of India and Pakistan? The answer is probably no, as is evident from a slack screenshot of the Oracle techie InsideSport has acquired.
Saurabh Netravalkar to need extra leaves?
Netravalkar, who is being praised for his fiery bowling against Pakistan from all around the world, has his slack status as ‘Out of office until Monday, June 17’. Interestingly, the group stage matches of the T20 World Cup 2024 finish only on June 18. United States, on the other hand, play their last group stage match against Ireland on June 14.

However, the authenticity of this screenshot could not be verified. If the screenshot above is genuine, then it is safe to say Netravalkar will have to ask his office for an extended leave, provided USA reach the Super Eight stage.
How can USA qualify for Super Eight stage?
For USA to reach the Super Eight, they will have to win their remaining games against India and Ireland. Even if USA are defeated by India, they would still stand a chance to qualify for Super Eight if India defeat Pakistan and USA win their match against Ireland.
