India did not get the services of India’s star pacers Bumrah and Harshal in the Asia Cup. Injuries knocked them out of the Asia Cup before the tournament began. As a result, Arshdeep Singh, Abesh Khan have the responsibility to manage India’s pace department in the fight for Asian cricket supremacy. But they failed to meet expectations. India captain Rohit Sharma admitted it in the press conference.
However, India received news of relief before the T20 World Cup. These two important pacers of the team have overcome the injury problem. Bumrah-Harshal also underwent a fitness test at India’s National Cricket Academy. The Board of Cricket in India (BCCI) doctors are also satisfied with their progress.
Meanwhile, BCCI has not announced the team for T20 World Cup yet. Meanwhile, the injury problem of cricketers like Ravindra Jadeja is increasing India’s worries. On the other hand, the recovery of Bumrah-Harshal is good news for the Indian selectors.
It is known that India may announce the World Cup team on September 15 or 16. Along with the World Cup squad, the squad for the T20 series against Australia and South Africa may also be announced. Basically, the Indians will make themselves prepared in those two series as a preparation before the World Cup. Therefore, it is quite conceivable that the players who are in the World Cup team will play in these two series.
It is known that a total of 5 pacers can go to Australia with the Indian team. Where the first choice is Bumrah. He can be joined by veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who played well in the Asia Cup. Harshal’s place in the World Cup team is also certain. Besides, Arshdeep, Abesh, Mohammad Shami and Deepak Chahar are in discussion.
This year’s Asia Cup did not go well for India. 7-time Asia Cup champion India knocked out of the Super Four this time. However, the Indian Cricket Board is targeting the T20 World Cup. There, Bumrah-Harshal can be one of India’s weapons. The recovery of the two is therefore a relief to Rohit Sharma’s camp.
