One area where Ojha and co. will have to solve several dilemmas is in the pace-bowling unit. which other fast bowlers will make the cut is set to cause a big debate While Jasprit Bumrah will almost certainly spearhead the attack. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee, now headed by Pragyan Ojha , faces a big task in selecting the nation’s 2027 Cricket World Cup squad. Former India Test captain Ajinkya Rahane has started the debate by picking his five preferred pacers for the 2027 World Cup, and he has left out a few big names.
Arshdeep and Prasidh, more often than not, have been a part of India’s ODI setup in recent months. However, Siraj has found himself in and out of the team. He has also shown his ability as a lower middle-order hitter, having slammed a half-century too. As for Bhuvneshwar and Shami, the former has struggled so far on his T20I return, while the latter last played an international match nearly two years ago.
Rahane opted to go with Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna , Mohammed Siraj and the uncapped Mayank Yadav as his five pacers for India’s 2027 World Cup squad, in a video posted by Sony Sports Network. Harshit averages nearly two wickets a game in ODIs, with 26 scalps in his 14 games till date.
