The biggest stage of men’s senior Cricket is going to arrive in the second half of next year, which is 2027 when the ICC men’s Senior ODI World Cup takes place in Africa.
The 50 over World Cup format is the World Cup in the Great game of Cricket as we know it because formats like T20 had their World Cup edition much later.
And of course, it is going to be a premier event, and a headlining act, so to speak where it comes to 50 over Men’s Senior Cricket. The coveted event will mark the 19th edition of the Cricket World Cup in the fifty over format and there’s boundless excitement understandably so around the world.
While this could be the last time ever that cricket fans get to see some amazing names and imposing talents in action- such as Steve Smith, Joe Root, Mohammad Nabi, David Miller and the likes, where it comes to India’s perspective, the 2027 ODI World Cup will definitely be the end of the road for two outstanding names in white ball cricket such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
The fans, whether they are in or outside of India simply cannot wait to see the two legends in an Indian jersey preparing for the mega One day battle.
And as an important precursor to the event, countless cricket experts and opinion makers have discussed from time to time their possible picks where it comes to the Indian playing squad for this prestigious event.
And just on the heels of the fake news where it was unnecessarily suggested that the likes of legendary Sunil Gavaskar, Harbhajan Singh, Sanjay Manjrekar and even Aakash Chopra had named their ‘potential’ World Cup squads, there’s a former cricketer who’s shared his line up- for real.
It’s none other than former Indian batter Robin Uthappa.
Rohit, Gill, Kohli, Shreyas, Sooryavanshi, Rahul, Sanju Samson, Hardik, Axar, Jadeja, Kuldeep, Bhuvi, Arshdeep, Bumrah, Siraj.
As a very important observation from the above playing squad, it comes to mind that Sanju Samson has been given a chance in the squad files of young Sooryavanshi too, has been picked.
While this would please Sanju fans a lot, it’s not entirely certain as though Sooryavanshi could be given a chance for real for he’s too new to the demands and rigors of the international game unless the selectors have something different in their mind.
