New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India will most likely name India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 in last week of April, it has been announced. The 2024 edition of the showpiece event will begin on June 2 in the USA and West Indies. The highly-awaited clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place on June 9 in New York.

As per the announcement made by the BCCI, teams will have a chance to change their players in the initial squad till May 25. A BCCI source told news agency PTI that they are playing to release the 15-member squad list after the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) gets over.

“The Indian team will be selected some time during the last week of April, the time by which the first half of IPL will be over and national selection committee will be in a position to assess form and fitness of the contenders,” the senior BCCI source told.

“The first batch of cricketers will leave for New York immediately after the end of the league stage of IPL on May 19. Those players, whose teams won’t qualify for the final four will be going early, like it happened during WTC finals last year,” the source added.

As the tournament is being held in the USA and West Indies, it is expected that few stand-bys will also travel with the team for safety sake in case an unforeseen circumstance forces a player to walk out from the event or any main member faces an injury.

It is learnt that there has been no instructions given to any of the Cup hopefuls about workload management as these two months they are under the franchise’s control. “Obviously, if any centrally contracted or targeted player gets injured, his case will automatically come under the purview of the NCA’s Medicine and Sports Science team.
