The deadline set by ICC to announce the WC squad is May 1.
So hereby let's speculate who is going to be in and who go no chance, let's bring in some discussion guys.

Ajit Agarkar (Chief Selector of BCCI) once said "Virat Kohli is not suited for T20 cricket". King Kohli got back to back 50 in IPL to answer that guys doubt about him. He is playing at his pinnacle and he is playing far better than he used to do before 2019. The Indian T20 team for World Cup cannot be complete without Virat Kohli.
Who do you think will win the second season of WPL 2024? Will it be RCB or DC, I think RCB winning against a good team like MI was a fluke. As we have seen such flukes quite frequently happening in IPL. I was expecting a good final but after RCB entering the finals I think DC will now comfortably win WPL this season. DC is a much stronger team out of all the franchise teams and they have been superb in the league matches. This time they will win and if not then RCB men should learn from the women's team.
No way can RCB win the finals of WPL 2024. If you look at the point table DC are the number one team. They have a strong batting depth which is not present in RCB. They won because of poor batting of MI and went on to reach the finals for the first time. MI and DC were supposed to be in the final as per the bookies but that didn't happen in this year.

The news is that Kohli may not be part of the World Cup squad. Below is the reason that has been given by the Indian selectors which was printed on a trusted news media outlet.
So they would first evaluate his performance in the IPL and then decide whether he should be included. They might have forgotten his batting against Pakistan in the last cup which happened in Australia. Mohammad Shami and Prasidh Krishna won't be part of this year IPL due to their injuries.
Team India can't afford to exclude players like Kohli and they won't be that stupid to do that either, Its coming from some non sense cricket experts who involved in cricket somehow but saying kohli shouldn't play.Quote
The report claims that selectors believe Kohli has not been at his best in the T20 format, however, if then 'King Kohli' roars again in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024, the selectors may rethink their strategy.

He is the top run scorer of IPL and he is holding the record for highest runs on a season and he has records that may not be broken for a while.
He excluded himself from this test series by himself to be with his family on important occasion but there is no doubt that he will be back to complete form and will roar as always for RCB but their team never performed to win a trophy.
I agree this news is baseless and it is hard to believe that someone like Kohli has to go through this news. I don't understand what Agarkar wants and who can replace Kohli as I don't think anyone has capability to play all three form of cricket with ease. I agree he went through a bad phase but he made an incredible comeback and he will bat well in the tournament. I am sure in this season of IPL we will see the same Kohli like he used to be earlier.
Just for the record Kohli has amazing seasons in terms of individual performance but the team failed to reach the bigger stage more often even with all the superstar players and the venue playing condition also had a role in that. Kohli is in his prime form for very long time and he is not a destructive hitter, he is known for class and he does makeup after first 20 balls in terms of strike rate too then I don't understand what could be the reason even to spread such rumour.

^ Iyear is not a small player in Indian cricket and he is a professional player with decent remuneration from several agencies and IPL franchises. He has a strong following and punishing him by BCCI was the right decision. It will stop future players from being such bullies against authority and it will make them realize that BCCI cannot be taken for granted in the present or the future.
Just read the news that Rishab Panth is fit to play in the IPL 2024 and it is great news for the fans. He missed last season due to the accident and this year his comeback would be an event to watch. After the major accident, I would be eager to see how able he is behind the wickets and how in form he would be with the bat. His performance is the IPL would decide whether he should be part of the T20WC team.

Shreyas Iyer looks cooked to me now. Another failure for him in the ongoing Ranji final. Selectors won't even look at Iyer.
Everyone in Ranji is exploiting his weakness against bouncer, be it a 25 yo bowler or 36 yo Umesh Yadav.

I don't think that Ishan or Iyer would be able to make a comeback. Ishan due to the discipline issue with BCCI and Iyer due to his continuous poor form. Even the World Cup he was not batting well and with a lot of talent getting a chance play for India in the test series it would be hard for Iyer to secure a place.
The dude has scored more than 500 runs with an average of 65-ish, which includes 2 tons (1 in SF against Kiwis) and 3 50s.
There are lot of criticism about excluding Iyer from the BCCI contract and it's kind of unfair decision too cause some players who skipped many Ranji matches haven't been dropped but only him. He started World Cup pretty decent and for the record he is having the record for most runs scored in no.4 position so this decision solely made just because he skipped one Ranji match?
BCCI is pushing very hard as well, players are playing all day throughout the year so it's better to give players a month or two vacation period instead of just firing then all at once.

Indian players cannot play in other leagues but are one of the highest-paid in IPL. This and that shit-headed thought that BCCI is a shit and with IPL they would make more than what they can by representing India. Being a Mallu born and brought up in Mumbai this guy thought that he would be replaced as BCCI has a past wherein they always keep a soft heart of those being from Mumbai.
I knew Iyer would get rejected as the fucking owner of BCCI is a Gujarati. It has been evident for some time now that they as in the BCCI are focused on Mumbaiker players and are concentrating more on players from less privileged states or North and West India. You can do a check of players that have debuted recently in the series.

Jonny Bairstow got so much wasted due to the nasty sledging by Shubhman Gill and Sararaz Khan that he lost his wicket in the next ball. He was playing well before the sledging had started. 9 wickets taken by Ravichandran Ashwin in his 100th test is another big achievement by the talented spinner. India won by an inning and 64 runs shows how well the Indian team played in the 5th and the final test in the series. The biggest trigger point of the test match for me was the 100-run contribution by Rohit Sharma and Shubhman Gill.
What an amazing series it has been for the Indian team and Rohit Sharma! Rohit is getting viral for all the wrong language he has been using in this series. This might be the first time that he won a test series with almost a new team. None of the big guns played the test series and with Kohli, Rahul and a few famous names unavailable India still managed to win this series with almost a whitewash.
Ashwin's 100th Test match and his performance was truly Ashwin-esque, as he took 9 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav is not only performing well with the bat but also taking wickets like a professional spinner. The English side found a new spinner after Panesher which is this Pakistani lad Bashir. He was very good in the final test which shows he will now be part of the team for some more years now.

Devdutt Padikkal got his first international 50. I thought after tea both Khan and him will continue till the end. Unfortunately both got out and India has now lost 5 wickets. Jurel and Jadeja are playing now the lead is still within 200 runs. England spinner Bashir has been having a good series against India. This time again he has taken 3 wickets on a pitch that is good for batters.
Well the variation in the bounce help here and there so what they have to do is bowl consistently on certain areas which English spinners can't able to do throughout the series and give one or two freebies every over. Test cricket can be agressive too and today our batsmen showed the visitors about how to play and construct innings instead of just hitting the every balls.
Tomorrow the ball may break so will get tough to bat on, India already posted over 200 runs as lead and tail enders are contributing beyond their expectations.

Team India did exactly what they are capable of and it's done in a venue where more assistance for seamers and conditions similar to England and not just this venue but every venue was fair and gave equal opportunity for both the teams and one who actually performed crossed the line. India started with bang in their batting too and England might be approaching a huge lead and what I admired is how Kuldeep increased his fielding skills too in this series. 
England won the toss and choose to bat first. The openers gave a good start but as soon as they were out the middle order again crumbled. On a batting pitch England managed to get 218 runs that proves the middle order is out of form. Ashwin playing his 100th test got 4 wickets whereas Kuldeep broke the crucial opening partnership and went on to tak 5 wickets.
Indian batting was stable as both Indian openers got their half century. Whereas Jaisawal inexperience led him to lose his wicket. Hit man is still batting and Inwould lve to see him get a century this time.
