After 3 consecutive wins in the T20 World Cup, Team India has reached the Super-8. They still have one more match left. This match will be against Canada in Florida on June 15. After this match, two reserve players of Team India will return home. Media reports have revealed that Shubhman Gill and Avesh Khan will return to India after the match against Canada. However, no official statement has come from the ICC or BCCI in this regard yet.
The chances of both players playing are low
Actually, Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan are unlikely to play after the matches in America. Reserve players have been included as backup. When a player gets injured or has to return in some other situation, one of the backup players can be selected. Apart from Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan, Team India also has options like Rinku Singh and Khalil Ahmed.
Team India has many options
After USA, Team India will go to West Indies for Super-8. Where they will play three matches. After this, semi-finals and then finals can also be played. It is being said that the chances of these two players playing are very less. Therefore, a decision has been taken to send both of them back. In West Indies, Team India will depend more on spinners. At the same time, they have a lot of options in terms of batting and all-rounders.
Rinku Singh and Khalil Ahmed may stay
Team India already has Yashasvi Jaiswal as the third opening batsman. Due to which the need for Shubhman Gill has reduced. It is being said that Rinku Singh and Khalil Ahmed may stay with the team and travel to Bridgetown, Barbados for the Super 8 stage starting on June 20.
