T-20 World Cup: No Change In India Squad Unless There Is An Injury; Umran Malik Picked As Net Bowler

There will be no change in the Indian T20 squad for the ICC World Cup unless there is an injury, says a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official on Saturday. There were reports that Team

Pandya was picked as the fourth seamer in the squad as the Chairman of Selectors, Chetan Sharma had shown faith in him bowling his full quota of overs. With Pandya, not bowling, it may disrupt India's balance for the T20 World Cup and they might add an extra all-round option.

But sources are to be believed Pandya, too, will remain in the squad and he will start bowling at nets in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, IANS has also learned that the BCCI has asked young pacer Umran Malik to join the Team India bubble as a net bowler. Several sources in the Board have confirmed that the youngster from Jammu, who made heads turn in the IPL this season with the fastest delivery by an Indian, will enter the Indian team bubble by Sunday.

Sources said that a few uncapped bowlers from the other IPL franchises have also been asked to stay back in the UAE and join the Indian team bubble as net bowlers for the tournament -- which begins next week.
