T20 World Cup 2022: The eighth ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is set to be the biggest and the best yet, with 16 teams playing 45 matches in seven Australian cities between 16 October and 13 November. All teams competing in the First Round of the tournament had already finalised their rosters by a deadline of 9 October, with the Super 12 teams having until 15 October to make any changes.
Needless to day, the form of Team India at the T20 World Cup has been something of an anomaly since 2007. India didn’t win the title since the very first in South Africa, and has only reached the final once. Even last year, as host, India didn’t make it out of the group stage in a surprising run that included losses to arch rival Pakistan and eventual finalist New Zealand. Addressing these along with other issues at the press conference, Rohit Sharma said that Team India have bench strength to cover the injuries & anomalies.
After unofficial warmups against against Australia on Monday and New Zealand on Wednesday in Brisbane, India’s campaign will start against Pakistan on Oct. 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
