T20 World Cup 2020 India Squad List

India has one of the best T20 world cup squad players in the world. When we discuss t20 cricket, it is impossible not to mention India. India has always had some of the best t20 players in the world since the start of the format at the international level. India gained its test status in the 1930s but rose to fame with its bombastic players in the 70s. They have also won two ODI world cups of 1985 and 2011 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni respectively.

India also won the very first edition of the T20 world cup back in 2007 and it remains to be their only T20 world cup trophy, which they won in the final against their traditional rivals, Pakistan. Indians are pretty enthusiastic about T20 cricket and are considered to be one of the strongest teams in the format. With an appropriate T20 environment provided to the players, they are best in the format and enjoy a sort of dominancy in T20 games.

India T20 World Cup Squad Announced

As well have told you before, Indians really love the t20 games and thus, avidly discuss the squad formations and players. They are very interested in their team and love to predict the T20 world cup squad. This can be seen from the avid use of different fantasy leagues whenever IPL starts. IPL is India’s premier T20 league which they enthusiastically follow and the stadiums are always full, which shows that Indians just love the format.

It is IPL that has enabled BCCI to select a strong t20 team that performs well in the tournaments and international T20 matches. This year, the selection of India’s T20 world cup squad will also be on the basis of IPL. Those youngsters and new players who will perform well in IPL or have been performing well will definitely be given a chance in T20 World cup. But we do have a list in which we have predicted some players which are almost certain to play this year’s T20 world cup from India.

india world t20 squads

  1. Virat Kohli (C)
  2. Rohit Sharma (VC)
  3. KL Rahul
  4. Suryakumar Yadav
  5. Ishan Kishan (WK)
  6. Shreyas Iyer
  7. Rishabh Pant (WK)
  8. Hardik Pandya
  9. Ravindra Jadeja
  10. Washington Sundar
  11. Yuzvendra Chahal
  12. Jasprit Bumrah
  13. T Natarajan
  14. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
  15. Mohammad Shami

Virat Kohli

A proven match-winner, India’s skipper in all formats of the game, Virat is a go to choice when it comes to your batting lineup. Virat Kohli has always taken his team out of desperate situations and is their premier batsman. Virat Kohli has a T20 record that players around the world wish they could achieve. He as a staggering average of over 50 in the format and has been a man of the series since the last two editions of the T20 World Cup.

Hence, Virat is definitely going to be a part of India’s T20 world cup squad and is going to be crucial for India in a successful campaign this season.

KL Rahul

Currently India’s best batsman in the format, KL Rahul has is a player whose performances speak for himself. It was his successful performances in the Ranji trophy that got the attention of Sunrisers Hyderabad management and he went off for one crore rupees in the auction. This proved to be a good decision as he went on to be one of their best batsmen in the IPL. Virat proved to be a top-class opening batsman who could score quick runs in the power play and wicket keep if need be.

He has some outstanding stats in T20 with two tons and a staggering strike rate. He is everything you look for in a T20 opening batsman and we can hope to see him in action this T20 world cup.

Rohit Sharma

Nicknamed “hitman”, Rohit Sharma has a profile that speaks for itself. Naturally talented and gifted, Rohit worked hard and persistent in his career that finally paid off with his casual double hundreds and centuries in different formats of the game. He is the best opener for India and is a run-scoring machine who can score all around the park.

Rohit Sharma has everything, stats, talent, experience and technique and temperament. He has a staggering average of 32 with a bombastic strike rate. Such an amazing stats and his experience make him an obvious choice in the team and definitely is going to be in India’s T20 World cup squad this season.

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan, with his ability to play strokes in every direction, has proven himself to be a successful opener for India across all formats of the game. Dhawan is one of the most experienced batsmen in the Indian batting line up when it comes to T20s. he has played over 200 T20 matches in the domestic circuit and has shown some impressive record.

He has scored over 50 half-centuries with an impressive strike rate and provides a solid head start which makes him first choice opener for India. We can expect him to be in the lineup, although it is a bit difficult for him to be in playing 11 due to successful players already in the game. But he can definitely be in the 16 players selected for T20 world cup squad.

Washington Sundar

A player who started off as a batsman in his younger days, Sundar, later on, established himself to be an impressive bowler who could retain runs and take wickets. Washington gained some attention after his time in India’s Under 19s and got selected into Pune Supergiants in 2017. In an era where it is difficult for spinners to survive in the format, Washington has proved himself to be an economical bowler.

Sundar fills in the spot of a spinner who can bowl in the middle overs and retain the runs which is an impressive quality when it comes to T20s. Thus, we can expect Sundar to be in India’s T20 World Cup squad. Only time will tell if this youngster can be a replacement of his senior, Ashwin.

Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah like other players of his generation gained attention by his performances in IPL. He has a very unorthodox action that bamboozles the batsmen and his slower ones are difficult to pick. Right now he is the best bowler India has, but his career didn’t start from this point. Bumrah had to work hard in his game and all the hard work is now paying off.

In 45 T20 matches that he has played, he has taken a total of 53 wickets with an economy rate of 6.69. Such an impressive record in the game makes Bumrah an automatic choice in the bowling lineup. He has established himself to be the leader and spearhead of Indian bowling lineup and the team will be incomplete without him in T20 world cup squad.

YS Chahal

Known to be an attacking wicket-taking bowler, Chahal is a valuable asset to his team. Although he can give away some runs, he can easily bamboozle his opponent with his wrong one. He has an impressive record with the bowl in the t20 matches he has played. He has taken over 50 wickets in 37 t20 matches he played for India.

Nowadays when it is difficult for bowlers, especially spinners to breath and gain some advantage on the pitch, Chahal’s attacking nature sets him apart and makes him a valuable asset to his team. Not only he can bowl the middle overs but can give you breakthroughs with his variations and has a strong chance to make into the T20 world cup squad for India in this edition of ICC T20 World cup.

Now only time will tell how accurate is this prediction of ours. It all depends on the player’s form and fitness that they will be selected in India T20 World cup squad or not.

India T20 World Cup Squad Date

India is a cricket-loving nation and is always excited about the games. Whether its Test matches, ODIs or T20, they are always enthusiastic about supporting their team in every match and in every tournament. Thus, India’s population is always waiting for such events, especially IPL as it has become a part of their culture since its inception. The full stands in the stadiums speak for their love for T20 games.

Due to such enthusiasm, Indian fans are always waiting for which squad will be representing them in the T20 world cup squad. Over the tea, among the elders and teenagers, as the t20 World cup approaches, discussions on the topic of T20 world cup squad start and they are always waiting for when BCCI will announce India T20 world cup squad.

You are here because you wanted to know when BCCI is going to announce the players, well, the date is not yet known. We can only speculate that BCCI will announce the T20 World cup squad a month before the start of a tournament. Last time in 2016 they followed this pattern and this time they are due to do the same.

by
T20 World Cup 2022 West Indies Squad

West Indies for T20 World Cup 2022 is not yet announced. All the fans around the world wait for when the defending champions, the West Indies announce their squad for T20 World cup. All the cricket fans know about the legendary Windies but if you just got into cricket, let’s give you a brief history tour. The West Indies Cricket team, administrated by Cricket West Indies, is Men’s cricket team representing a group of islands of Anglophone Caribbean region. West Indies Cricket team are also nicknamed as Windies and are one of the oldest test playing nations after England and Australia.

The Windies were considered to be one of the greatest cricket teams from the 70s to 90s. They won two consecutive Cricket world cups and are also the most successful team in ICC T20 World Cup tournament. A lot of great players such as Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Gary Sobers, Brian Charles Lara, Sir Andy Roberts, Sir Curtly Ambrose etc. hailed from this team. Known for the aggressive cricket they have played throughout the history of cricket. The Windies have an element of surprise to them. Even during the moments of their certain defeat, they can bounce back and win.

West Indies T20 World Cup Squad Prediction

West Indies have had some of the best players in every era and due to the aggressive cricket they have been playing for a long time, they have garnered success in a lot of tournaments they have played as a team. The Windies know no other way other than going all out. Thus, you will see a lot of aggressive style players no matter what the era when it comes to the good old windies.

Due to such playing style, fans always enjoy all the matches the windies play, and there is always a buzz in the ground. Thus you as a fan must also be waiting for the West Indies T20 World Cup Squad to be announced. But all we can do for you is to predict the squad for you. And that we have already done for you. Following are some of the players that we think are going to be a part of West Indies’ campaign for this T20 World cup. They are the defending champions after all who took away the title from England in a breathtaking finale last season. Will they be able to defend their title this time? Let’s ride the tide of time to know about it. 

  1. Kieron Pollard
  2. Hayden Walsh Jr
  3. Darren Bravo
  4. Lendl Simmons
  5. Evin Lewis

Kieron Pollard

Pollard can be considered a specialist when it comes to limit over formats of the game. Although he debuted for Windies in 2007, his career took off when he was picked up by Mumbai Indians in 2010. He had modest stats when MI selected him for IPS session but what they selected him for was his ability to hit the bat hard. That auction for him turned his world upside down and made him a T20 sensation. He garnered a lot of experience in the franchise cricket over the years. He can be considered to be one of the most experienced players for windies in this format. Numerous times he chose franchise cricket over playing for his national side. He was instrumental for the teams he played for all these times. 

His athletics in the field and decent medium makes him an ideal choice for this format. Right now he is captaining his in the T20 internationals. Pollard’s athletic fielding and ability to ball and bat makes him a valuable asset for the team and will be in West Indies T20 world cup squad for this season.

Hayden Walsh Jr

Hayden Walsh Jr is a windies cricketer who first played for the USA. Coming from a family where his father and uncle, both were phenomenal players in the domestic circuit, Hayden had a perfect environment where he nourished his cricketing skills. He debuted in the international scene for the USA against the United Arab Emirates last year. Those were the first international matches played by the USA team. He also represented States in different ODI matches before being selected by Cricket West Indies for their series against Afghanistan in India. He also debuted for windies in ODIs against Afghanistan in the same series. Thus making him one of the few players who have played for two teams in international matches. 

He is currently some of the best bowlers windies have in the T20 format and thus makes an automatic choice in the West Indies T20 world cup squad. His wrong ones bamboozled Indians on their home soil, and his highlight in the games was when he got the scalp of India’s premier batsman Virat Kohli. If the youngster holds his nerves, he sure as hell can be a key to winning some matches for his team

Darren Bravo

Bravo is also one of those players which you can consider as a specialist when it comes to the limited-overs format of cricket. For years he has dominated the limited formats for his country whenever he wasn’t playing due to his recurring injuries. Handy with both bat and ball, he adds another level of charisma in the lineup. He bamboozled a lot of batsmen with his slower ones and has some quick knocks with the bat there and there. If not for his commitment to the franchises, he could have played for his national side a lot more. Due to these commitments, he also pulled out of a central contract that would have bound him to play for the windies all the time.

His profile in the T20 matches speaks for itself. He has played a total of 451 T20 matches scoring over 6000 runs with an impressive strike rate. With such an impressive record, he has always been the prime choice for franchise owners when making their squads for the tournaments. He was also instrumental in the West Indies’ last successful campaign of the T20 world cup.

He has everything that a team needs in its T20 players, handy with the old ball and new, power hitter of the bat, and athletic when it comes to fielding. Fielding is an important perspective as it wins you matches nowadays. Thus we can predict his presence in the West Indies’ squad of the T20 world cup in 2022.

Lendl Simmons

Lendl Simmons, an impressive versatile opening batsman, is one of the fiery T20 specialists from West indies. With the ability to play shots in every nook of the ground, it becomes difficult for fielding side to set any field for him. Simmons made his international debut back in 2006, and over the years has made a successful limited-overs career for himself, not only in his national side but in different franchises around the globe. Despite a disappointing career in Test matches, Simmons has made a name for himself in limited-overs format, especially in T20 cricket, being a constant source of fast runs in the initial phase of the game. He helped his teams win a lot of matches along the span of his long career in franchises.

He was also instrumental for Windies in their way to final of 2016 T20 world cup when he steered his team towards 192 targets given by India. Thus, windies found themselves in the final of the tournament, which they successfully won. Hence, Simmons crucial role in the batting lineup of windies cannot be ignored by Cricket West Indies, and he is certainly going to be the part of West Indies T20 World cup squad. 

Evin Lewis

Like his mentor Chris Gayle, Evin likes to hit big and hit them out of the park. Like most of his peers, he specializes in t20 cricket. He is a modern T20 batsman in a true sense and performs big in important matches, which accounts for his ability to hold his nerves in important matches. He has also played for franchises and proved himself to be a match-winner in the format.

Right now, He is west indie’s best batsman in the format and will be part of T20 World cup squad for his team. 

West Indies T20 World Cup Squad Date

The windies have always played entertaining cricket, whether it is Test, ODIs or T20 internationals, and that is why fans are always left holding their seats when they are watching them play. All of these fans around the world and all the cricket gurus wait for Cricket West Indies to announce their Squad for T20 world cup 2022.

Although no officials from the governing bodies have announced the date for when they will announce the squads, we can speculate that they will announce the squads sometime before the start of the T20 World cup. We can guess that Cricket West Indies will announce the name of the players from the squads sometime during the mid of August to September 2022. The world cup is going to start on the 18th of October 2022, so they have to announce the squads at least a month earlier. That is our speculation, and we are pretty much sure that they will announce the squads during these days.

This ICC Men’s T20 world cup is going to be the seventh edition of the tournament. At first, only 12 teams used to be in the t20 world cup, but due to criticism of not giving the associate members not enough chance to play at the international platforms, ICC started the format where 16 teams would play the tournament including ten permanent members and six associate members of ICC.

T20 World Cup Best Team

Whenever there is any sporting tournament, we all have our favorites, and it’s just a matter of personal preference. You might have a different team that you can regard as best in this t20 world cup. I have some opinions regarding the best teams in this t20 world cup. It’s just all relative, and we are all free to have different opinions. According to my personal opinion and statistics, I have two teams that I consider to be the T20 world cup best teams. First is the number one ranking T20 team Pakistan and second ones are the Aussies who are going to have the massive advantage of playing at the home grounds

Pakistan

Pakistan is the most unpredictable team when it comes to cricket in general. There is no consistency to them when it comes to performing in cricket. On their day they might become unbeatable and win the matches from the most bizarre scenarios, and they may lose an already won match from a really low ranking team when the lady luck is not on their side. T20 cricket, in general, is such a format of the game where the stats, the experience, the technique become irrelevant. All that matters in this format is the luck of the team or even the luck of a single individual.

 All in all, it’s a perfect format for a team like the Pakistan cricket team and right now, Pakistan despite not showing any individual performances in One-day internationals or Test matches are ranking number one in the T20 format of the game. Pakistan cricket team has some perfect time when it comes to T20 cricket. 

They played the final of the very first T20 world cup, won the next one and have had some of the best T20 players in the whole world like Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir and now their most promising player in the format Babar Azam. Due to such an outstanding form and rhythm that the team has had in the past year, it won all the 6 T20i series that Pakistan played with the exception of the Sri Lankan cricket team. That is the reason that it will not be wrong if we regard Pakistan as one of the best T20 world cup teams this season and strong contenders for the tournament. 

Australia

Ranking just below Pakistan in ICC T20I rankings, Aussies are going to be tough customers this edition of the t20 world cup. Aussies, despite now playing much t20 cricket last year showed an outstanding result in the three series that they played, winning two of them against Sri Lanka and India. But one thing that we must not forget is that Australians are going to have a massive advantage in their home conditions. They cashed this well when they played the 2015 edition of the world cup on their home soil and won the finals against New Zealand. 

They sure are going to be a force to be reckoned with in this T20 world cup as they will be playing in known conditions and will have massive support from their home. Out of 43 T20 matches that the Aussies played on their home grounds, they won 27 of them with an outstanding Win-loss ratio of 1.9. This certainly makes Australia the Best T20 world cup team this season. 

T20 World Cup Official Squad Announcement

The teams are yet to announce their squads for the ICC men’s T20 world cup 2022. Last time in the 2016 T20 world cup the teams were announced about a month earlier than the start of the tournament. They have to give names to ICC as they are the main organizers and have to keep in mind the reserve players as well if some issue comes forward in case of injury. So we can expect the squads to be announced somewhere between August to September.

Expected T20 World Cup Teams Squads

You might be wondering when the teams are going to announce their squads for the T20 world cup. We are all waiting for them to announce the squads as none of the 16 teams have announced their teams yet. Although we can look forward to different players of different teams who have a solid chance of representing their teams in this T20 world cup. These are the match winners that have a solid chance of being selected into the t20 world cup teams for their countries.

India

First of all, we all must look out for Virat Kohli. A proven match-winner throughout his career Virat is always a beacon of hope when it comes to pulling his team out of difficult situations. And his T20 record is nothing to be stumbled upon. He is one of the best t20 batsmen in the whole world and has an outstanding record when it comes to his time in T20 world cups. Virat was a man of the series for the last two world cups that he played in 2014 and 2016 with an impressive batting average of over 100 runs in both of these world cups. He certainly is going to be a key player for the Indian cricket team.

Pakistan

Babar Azam for Pakistan is undoubtedly one of those players who have cemented a name for themselves in the T20 format. With an average of 50 in T20i, Babar with his reliable technique and calmness has a different vibe to him. For the young batsman, it surely is the time of his career and with excellent stead with the bat this season, Babar is one of the key players for Pakistan this world cup.

For the hosts, Aron finch is one of the best T20 batsmen. Ranking only below the young Babar Azam, finch has an outstanding record in the T20s. Averaging 38 with a bombastic strike rate of 156, he will be a match-winner for Australia in this T20 world cup.

New Zealand

For the kiwis, Colin Munro is the player that is going to be their hope when chasing bigger targets in this T20 world cup. The batsman standing in the top tens of the T20 batting ranking list is going to be crucial for the success of the Kiwis this season. The playing conditions are going to be similar to his home, and this adds a little more advantage to him that he can undoubtedly cash for his team.

England

Dawid Malan is proving to be a sturdy batsman to the English side in the format. Averaging over 57, the batsman has risen above the ranks recently with his bombastic performances and a fierce strike rate of 156. He certainly is a powerhouse with the bat and is a player that the opponents should look out for when going up against England this season.

Afghanistan

It is the first time for Afghanistan that they have qualified for any ICC event directly and their young Rashid Khan has undoubtedly made it a possibility for them. In T20s he ranks top amongst the bowlers and can deceive the batsmen with his variations, making it difficult for them to hit him in the T20 format. Though inconsistent with the bat, Rashid khan can be handy with the bat making him a valuable asset for the afghans in this tournament.
