There were reports that Team India's squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 could see some changes as skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma have set up a meeting with the national selectors to finalise their 15-member squad for the tournament, ahead of the October 10 deadline.

However, sources said the team will remain the same. "No formal meeting! And no changes will take place in the team unless there is an injury.
