World Cup 2023: India Announces Squad Changes

In a bold move ahead of the Cricket World Cup 2023, India has brought in KL Rahul to the squad, despite him being out of competitive cricket since May. With the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup underway, there's much attention on the two players who didn't make the cut from the Asia Cup team and KL Rahul's return to form.

Key Inclusions and Exclusions

KL Rahul has secured his spot in the World Cup team, having cleared a recent fitness test in Bengaluru. However, Tilak Varma, Prasidh Krishna, and reserve player Sanju Samson didn't make the team from the 17-man Asia Cup squad.

Stellar Performance by Kishan

Ishan Kishan continues his impressive run, marking his place as a wicketkeeper-batter, thanks to his consistent ODI performances. His notable 82-run score against Pakistan adds to his impressive tally.

Suryakumar's Selection

Despite being recognized more for his T20 prowess, Suryakumar Yadav has been selected for the squad. His average ODI performance hasn't deterred the selectors who see potential in his gameplay.
