Win Projections to be updated soon
Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of selectors for the Indian team, and Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, made the announcement of India’s 15-member roster for the upcoming ICC Odi World Cup 2023. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 5, 2023, and would be the first time that India will be the lone host nation.
The most anticipated team was the one representing the nation that was hosting the tournament. This is because the BCCI selection committee had a lot of pressure on them to choose the finest team possible while still adhering to all of the requirements for modern-day 50-over demands.
While the composition of India’s squad was fairly consistent with what the vast majority of analysts and fans had anticipated, there were a few notable players that were left off the 15-man roster, which led to some unexpected reactions.
The following three players were unexpectedly left off of India’s Odi World Cup 2023 roster:
1. Prasidh Krishna
After being absent from the sport for more than a year, the tall and lanky Karnataka fast bowler Prasidh Krishna made his return for India in the Twenty20 International series against Ireland. Due to a back ailment that he sustained in August of 2022 while on tour in Zimbabwe, he was absent for a considerable amount of time.
He was required to have surgery in order to correct the condition, and then he underwent a lengthy rehabilitation process at the NCA. Prasidh Krishna had a successful record for India in one-day internationals (ODIs), accumulating 25 wickets over the course of 14 games with a best of 4/12. As a result of the pacer’s height, many people anticipated that he would be included in the Indian squad that would compete in the ICC World Cup 2023.
On the other hand, it appears that the presence of Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj, in addition to the return of Jasprit Bumrah, have prevented the BCCI from signing another pacer. Along with Hardik Pandya, the selection committee decided to go with Shardul Thakur as an additional option for a pace-allrounder. This was done in order to stretch the batting lineup.
