Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad on April 8 advocated for the inclusion of Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh in the nationwide staff for the T20 World Cup in June.
Dube has been CSK’s standout performer this IPL season, putting at greater than 160. With circumstances in the West Indies favouring spin, Dube’s contribution may show invaluable in navigating the sluggish pitches.
Explosive left-hand batter Rinku has introduced a robust case to be India’s squad for the T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean.
“Shivam Dube for his striking ability against spinners, Surya (Kumar Yadav) for being the best T20 international batter and Rinku Singh for his exceptional finishing ability,” Prasad wrote on X.
“It will be great if India finds a way to have these 3 in the 11 in the T20 WC. With Virat and Rohit, this will leave spot for just a keeper batsman. Interesting to see how it pans out,” he added.
But that will imply that all-rounder Hardik Pandya will not be a component of the eleven.
