The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) men’s senior selection committee will meet in New Delhi on Monday to pick the squad for the upcoming Asia CupAsia CupAsia Cup 2023, set to commence on August 30 in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
It is known that Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, will be present at the meeting. SS Das will also attend, albeit via video conference, as he is currently on tour in Ireland with a second-string squad, engaged in a three-match T20I series. According to PTI, head coach Rahul Dravid will also be in attendance in his official capacity. It is worth noting that coaches are typically not involved in the selection process.
Rohit's presence holds significance as the selectors are expected to consider the draft squad for the World Cup as well. Although the ICC's deadline to submit the draft squad is September 5, the selection panel aims to select the same 15 players for both events, if possible. The chosen squad, along with a few standby players, will then gather in Bengaluru for a six-day training camp before departing for Colombo.
