India announced their squad for the T20 World Cup on Tuesday. I am extremely happy to see many young players have been given s chance to show their talent at the forthcoming tournament. I was expecting Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal to be the part of this team and they have been given a chance. Both of them are in terrific form. Shivam Dube also has been selected for the T20 World Cup. This is wonderful.  Shivam is a terrific all-rounder India has at the moment. I am happy to see him in the team.

Young pacer Arshdeep Singh also got a chance once again to show his worth. I am sure he will prove his worth.  I am sure young players will give their best under the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.  Virat is doing very well, while Rohit has to get his form back as early as possible for his team. I really appreciate Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar for his perfect pick. I am sure this team will do wonders. It has a perfect mixture of players. India will open their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign against Ireland on June 5. They will then face arch-rivals Pakistan on June 9 and then face USA and Canada on June 12 and 15 in their group-stage matches.
