ICC T20 World Cup 2022: India squad announced; Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel return

The Indian squad for the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup to be held in Australia next month has been announced. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the All-India Senior Selection Committee met in Mumbai on Monday to finalise the squad, and it was announced on the day itself. The squad witnesses the return of pacer Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Harshal Patel. The squad would also comprise former skipper and top-order batter Virat Kohli, whose return to form during the just-concluded Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was highly influential.

Besides, the squads for the Australia and South Africa home Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) that precede the T20WC were also announced. At this time, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be undergoing a conditioning-related camp at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
