‘I was surprised by the selection of…’: Former Australian captain on India’s T20 World Cup squad | Cricket News

Danijones6 months ago03 mins

NEW DELHI: Former Australian captain Aaron Finch conveyed his “surprise” regarding the composition of the Indian squad announced by the BCCI for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.The squad includes four spinners: Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav, among the 15 selected players set to represent India in the tournament taking place in the West Indies and USA from June 1 to 29.Sharing his thoughts, Finch said, “I was surprised by the four spinners as well. I had Rinku in there and only two spinners.”“In my initial squad, I had the extra quick because I think, because of the inconsistency that we have seen with everyone bar Jasprit Bumrah with the ball, especially in the powerplay, I wanted the extra cover of that quick. And if they want to play three spinners in the game, one of them has to be prepared to bowl in the powerplay, and I don’t see any of those guys doing it consistently, so I think they’ve backed themselves into a corner slightly,” Finch told Star Sports.However, former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop expressed his approval of the selection, noting the potential behavior of pitches in the West Indies and the USA during the T20 World Cup.Bishop remarked that having four spinners in the squad could be considered a luxury rather than a necessity, indicating their adaptability to varying pitch conditions.“I guess spin will play a part in the tournament. The only concern I have is that the pitches for the World Cup may be slightly different from the ones we have seen in bilateral series or domestic tournaments. So I think it’s a luxury to have four spinners rather than it being a necessity.”(With IANS inputs)

The skipper is well worth backing as West Indies’ highest run scorer against England. Alzarri Joseph has best figures of 5/56 in this format and the quick bowler is a strong choice for West Indies’ top wicket taker on Sunday.Jos Buttler has hit 11 hundreds and 25 half-centuries in ODI cricket and the 33 year old right-handed captain is our tip for England’s highest run scorer in Antigua. Gus Atkinson took 2/45 including the wicket of Babar Azam in England’s last ODI and the pace bowler is our pick for their top wicket taker against West Indies.After the very poor 2023 Cricket World Cup, Jos Buttler will be desperate to lead the way with his batting in this series.

WI vs ENG 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips The first of three ODIs between West Indies and England gets underway on Sunday morning in Antigua. This will be West Indies’ first ODI since losing a three-game series to India 2-1 across July and August. England failed miserably to defend their World Cup title last month and will see this as an opportunity to start a new cycle in this format. Read on as we preview this game. This ODI gets underway at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound at 09:30 local time. The recent World Cup in India was the first to ever not have West Indies competing and the cricket board are desperate to not let it happen again. There is plenty of talent across the islands but it may be too much for them to get a win in this opening game. After beginning the 2023 Cricket World Cup as defending champions, England’s fall was spectacular but the whole team management will now be looking to develop a new squad and method over the next four years. Even with an experimental squad for this series, they should have enough to go 1-0 up in Antigua.

Our prediction is that both captains will choose to field first if they win the toss ahead of this opening game of the series. WI vs ENG Pitch ReportWe do not expect this pitch to be particularly quick and there should be turn, although it could be slow turn, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. A par score will be around 295-305.
