The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 15-member provisional squad for the ODI World Cup 2023. The board made a bold call in giving wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul the nod despite the fact that he didn't feature in the Asia Cup 2023 game against Pakistan too. Tilak Varma, who was selected in India's 17-member team for the Asia Cup, didn't find a place in the 15-man World Cup squad while Sanju Samson was left out too. Prasidh Krishna, who made his return to the ODI side after a long injury layoff, wasn't picked by the selectors either but Jasprit Bumrah was selected.
