Batter Deepak Hooda can be an effective spinner, but left-arm spinner Axor Patel can also make a late guest appearance with the bat.

All eyes await the ICC trophy To end his 9th year in India, Rohit is pouring into the side. However, former Indian cricket team captain Mohammed Azharuddin felt that Shreyas Ayer and Mohammed Shami should be part of a 15-man squad.

The duo, along with Ravi Bishnoi and Deepak Chahar , was named a “standby player” for the T20 World Championship.

Batter Iyer played his T20I of 46 and at his rate of 136.65 strikes he scored 1029 runs. A veteran pacemaker, Shammi played 17 of his T20Is and took 18 wickets. Both players are stars of the Indian Premier League.
