Cricket selectors and commentators discuss India's World Cup squad selections
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has selected a potential 15-member squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Cricket commentator Akash Chopra rated Gavaskar's team highly, calling it balanced. Other commentators and former players have also discussed squad selections, with some noting the exclusion of players with significant wicket-taking records. Separately, the Indian cricket team faced issues with pitch preparation for a practice match in Sri Lanka, as they desired a spin-friendly wicket but were presented with a grassier one. Additionally, Shubman Gill sustained a thumb injury during net practice before a Test series against Sri Lanka.
