The Indian selectors are planning to add a few more players to India’s T20 World Cup team as net bowlers. They have not finalized the list of the bowlers. However, the injury that the mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy faces, has drawn attention of the selectors. If the reports are to be believed, pace sensation Umran Malik and Harshal Patel have been asked to stay in UAE after the IPL gets over.
The last date for submission of the final team list to ICC is on Sunday, i.e. 10th October.
“Chakravarthy was selected because he was fit to play. If his injury can be managed through the World Cup, he will certainly be in the team,” a top BCCI official was quoted as saying by TOI.
Yuzvendra Chahal, who didn’t find a place in the World Cup squad as Rahul Chahar was picked in his place, has performed better in this IPL. News of his staying back was also doing the rounds.
“No decision has been taken on Chahal. It’s unfortunate that Mumbai Indians had dropped Rahul Chahar from playing XI. If Chahal will be asked to stay back as a cover will be decided once the selectors and team management discuss the situation,” the official said.
