The biggest tournament in the cricket world is happening. However, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma announced the team of 15 players for the World Cup 2023 on September 5. Finally, all the rumors and speculations came to an end. Moreover, so many people were surprised after seeing the list. KL Rahul, who has not played since May due to injury and also skipped the India-Pakistan ODI match, is included in the list. Consequently, Sanju Samson dropped from the list. While speaking to the media, Ajit Agarkar said that K.L. is looking, and he was part of the camp in Bangalore, and he was good there.
Moreover, in the spin attack, Axar Patel is preferred, so there is no chance for senior player R Ashvin, who led the spin attack in the 2011 World Cup. Also, Washington Sundar was expecting the spot, but it seems like he has to wait longer to get it.
With the overall selection of the team, skipper Rohit Sharma is happy. While talking to the media, he said that we are happy and that this is the best we can do with depth and balance.
