The cricket world may solely be a number of days away from seeing among the prime sides battle it out within the Asia Cup 2023. But, it is the ODI World Cup that is still a giant speaking level within the hindsight. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who had led the Indian group to the 2003 ODI World Cup last, spoke about among the most debatable selections the choice committee took as they introduced the Asia Cup squad. While chief selector Ajit Agarkar stated that the World Cup squad can be comparable, Ganguly feels one or two modifications may very well be made within the World Cup facet.

“You cannot win World Cups all the time, there will be bad times, there will be gaps,” Ganguly stated throughout an occasion.

“They will have to bat very well, if they bat well they will win. The World Cup is different, Asia Cup is different and the Australia home series is different. Every tournament depends on how they play that particular moment. India are a strong side, but they have to play well during the World Cup,” the previous BCCI president added.

Speaking of the Axar Patel vs Yuzvendra Chahal battle, Ganguly opined the left-arm spinner rightly received the nod over the wrist-spinner due to his superior abilities with the bat.

“They have picked Axar Patel ahead of Chahal because of his batting. So I think it’s a good selection. Chahal can still come back if someone gets injured. This is a 17-member squad, two, in any case, will have to move out,” Ganguly opined.

“He’s fit, not injured anymore,” Ganguly stated when talking about KL Rahul‘s inclusion to the squad.
