Key Points

The Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection committee will likely name India's final 15 for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and West Indies in the final week of April, when the first half of the ongoing IPL 2024 will end..

The cut-off date for the submission of teams for the World Cup, as set by the International Cricket Council (ICC), is May 1..

According to a PTI report, BCCI will pick their squad at the end of the first half of the league stage in IPL 2024 so that the selectors have all necessary information on the form and fitness of each player picked..

"The Indian team will be selected some time during the last week of April, the time by which the first half of IPL will be over and national selection committee will be in a position to assess form and fitness of the contenders," the senior BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity...

Besides the 15-member squad, the Indian contingent, like the rest of the participants in the T20 World Cup, will carry a few stand-by players as well to avoid logistical nightmare in case any player from the main squad incurs an injury or has to withdraw from the event owing to unforeseen circumstances..
