Delhi: The ICC T20 World Cup will be organized immediately after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently held an important meeting regarding this in Mumbai. There was a very serious discussion regarding the players in this meeting. The board can give a chance to veteran batsman Virat Kohli to open along with captain Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, star opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's card may be cut. Apart from this, pacer Mayank Yadav, who has received praise for his stormy bowling in the current season of IPL, was also discussed.
According to a report in Dainik Jagran, last week a meeting was held at the BCCI headquarters between head coach Rahul Dravid, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit, in which there was talk of giving Kohli a chance to open. If Rohit opens with Kohli, Yashasvi's card may be cut. Shubman Gill can join Team India as an alternative opener. Let us tell you that Jaiswal has not been able to do anything special in IPL 2024 so far. During this period, he has scored 121 runs in 7 matches.

In this meeting, there was also discussion about in-form all-rounder Riyan Parag. Parag may get a chance for T20 World Cup 2024. If we look at his performance in this season of IPL, it has been good. The right-handed batsman has scored 318 runs in 7 matches. At the same time, Mayank Yadav created a sensation with his deadly bowling, but he is injured. According to the report, Mayank can also be included in the Indian team.
Important discussion also took place on Hardik Pandya
Not only this, Mumbai Indians (MI) captain and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is struggling with poor performance. The board is also keeping an eye on his performance. At present, he is out of form. If we look at Hardik's performance in the current season, he has only 131 runs and three wickets in 6 matches so far. During this period, he has bowled with an economy of around 12 and in such a situation, this is a matter of big concern for the selectors. It was decided in the BCCI meeting that Hardik should be included in the World Cup team only if he bowls continuously in the IPL.
