World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Snubbed From Ireland Series? Team Selection For The Series Hots Up!

World Cup 2023: India is ready and willing to try all their resources before Asia Cup 2023 and World Cup 2023. And this is perfectly evident from the squad released for the Ireland series.

There are many talking points ahead of the series, but the most important was that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were not part of the squad. They are being rested, but is it a good decision, considering none of these two had played white ball matches recently and will play in Asia Cup directly now?

On the other hand, there are lots of positives as well. A team full of youngsters never looked this good. The team has players who have proven themselves in IPL and domestic cricket.

Major Talking Points

The squad announcement marked the return of Jasprit Bumrah. He will play the series and will captain the side as well. Ruturaj Gaikwad will be the vice-captain, which is huge considering he will lead team India in Asian Games 2023.

Shivam Dube returns to the team and will like to leave his mark. Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi will be the main spinners. While Bumrah, Arshdeep, Mukesh, Avesh, and returning Prasidh Krishna will be the pace lineup.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, and Jitesh Sharma were selected again. It showed that the selectors are ready to give them chances and are counting on them in this format.

No World Cup 2023 Practice

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma did not play in the West Indies ODI series. So, the only match time they will get before World Cup 2023 is Asia Cup and T20 series against West Indies, which can be dangerous.

But both players have amazing capabilities, and we might get a new series right before World Cup. A series where all the returning players can play and get their much-needed practice.
