Team India: The semi-final round will begin as soon as the group stage matches end in the T20 World Cup 2024 to be played in the USA and West Indies. If we talk about Team India, then this team led by Rohit Sharma has almost reached the final-4.
Now only the qualifier is left to be written in front of their names in the table. Before the next round, chief selector Ajit Agarkar released the updated squad. Under this, a 17-member team has been announced. Let us know which players have been left out in this.
Before the start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the BCCI had announced a 15-member squad. In this, 4 players were included as reserve players. Apart from opener Shubman Gill, explosive batsman Rinku Singh, the names of two fast bowlers Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed were present in the list.
Whereas after the last match of the group stage against America, two players were released from it. Team India's batting coach Vikram Rathore said that the management will take only two players with them as reserves for the matches to be held in West Indies. This included Rinku and Khalil. That means Shubman and Avesh were released.
