Stuart Broad Selects His Favorite India Wicketkeeper: “He Has to be in T20 World Cup Squad… He’s Ready”

A lot of talk surrounds India’s T20 World Cup team before the selection committee formally announces it. Because there aren’t enough slots and there are too many competitors, the selection procedure becomes intriguing because experts and fans are curious to find out which 15 players will be traveling to the US. It seems that the wicketkeeper position is the most competitive, therefore, Ajit Agarkar & Co. will have a difficult time settling on one or two names.

One of the contenders is Rishabh Pant, who made an incredible comeback from injuries sustained in a terrible vehicle accident to return to the field. In addition to being his team’s top scorer, the Delhi Capitals captain has excelled on the field of play. In only 7 IPL 2024 matches, Pant has accumulated 210 runs and scored a pair of half-centuries.

Stuart Broad, a former fast bowler for England, has expressed support for Pant’s selection for the 2024 T20 World Cup, saying the keeper-batter is prepared.

There is some uncertainty around the Indian team’s selection. In that squad, you have a few waiting players. Most likely, Rishabh Pant is the subject of the most debate. I saw him make a no-look flip over a deep square leg for six during a game against KKR. As soon as he made that shot, I knew he had to be included in the T20 World Cup team. He’s prepared. Broad said on Star Sports, “He’s ready to go.

The former cricket player emphasized that because Pant, 26, is returning to the game after a break of more than a year, it is imperative that his workload be properly handled.

“Having been out of the game for so long, he has taken on a tremendous amount of work.” As the captain and wicketkeeper, he bats three, four, and five. He already has a great deal on his plate. In a few games, I’d want to see him as an impact sub to help relieve some of the pressure on him. Since he can win matches, Broad said, “I believe that if I were the selector, he would be my wicketkeeper in the World Cup squad.”
