New Delhi. The Indian team will play in the T20 World Cup soon after the Indian Premier League 2024. The selectors can announce the team at the end of this month.

As a wicketkeeper, Rishabh Pant has been given a place in the team over Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul and Sanju Samson. According to Kaif, this player should be fielded to bat at number six. Axar Patel is at seventh place and then Ravindra Jadeja. Both of them can play as bowling all-rounders. Kaif has kept Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in his team as the main spinners. Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj have been kept along with Jasprit Bumrah in fast bowling.
