Assessing the 15-member Indian staff for the enduring occasion to be held within the USA and West Indies from June 2 to 29, Ganguly stated the Rohit Sharma-led facet was filled with match-winners. “They are a very strong team. All the 15 were good enough to be selected,” stated Ganguly on the sidelines of the trophy unveiling occasion of the inaugural Bengal Pro T20 League right here.
“They are all match winners – (Virat) Kohli, Rohit (Sharma), (Rishabh) Pant, Sanju Samson, I am very happy to see Sanju Samson, (Shivam) Dubey. They are a very strong team.”
India will play its group matches in opposition to Ireland, Pakistan, USA and Canada within the USA. From Super Eight Stage onwards, the matches will probably be performed within the West Indies.
Ganguly stated spinners would play an essential function within the West Indies. “They are playing in the West Indies, where the pitches will spin and will be slow and (will keep) low and big grounds. Spinners will be important.”
Ganguly noticed logic in choosing an extra spinner forward of finisher Rinku Singh. “They wanted to go with another spinner. He has not got a place, but it’s just the beginning for Rinku.”
About the tight race amongst groups for playoff berths within the Indian Premier League (IPL), Ganguly, who is the staff director of Delhi Capitals, stated, “Everybody is on the same boat.”
