Shubhman Gill And Avesh Khan Retun to India 2024

Indian team is performing extremely well in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The team has some of the best batters and bowlers in the team. They have won all the first three matches they have played to date. Now the team is moving ahead to the next round which is the Super 8 stage. Before this, the team is going to play their last Group A stage match against Canada.

After this final match, the team decided to send Shubhman Gill and Avesh Khan back to India. They both joined the team as substitute players of the team. Substitutes in any cricket team are the additional players that the team keeps when they partake in any international tournament. These players play in the place of injured players or in place of any player playing the team who is not available due to any reason in a match. 

Team India chose 4 substitutes for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 event, they were- Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, and Rinku Singh.

Why Shubhman Gill is returning to India from the T20 World Cup 2024?

Shubhman Gill is reportedly coming back to India from the T20 World Cup 2024 tournament as the team already has many opening alternatives at present in the team. 

For instance, Yashaswi Jaiswal is available on the bench and the BCCI believes that he would be enough as an option for team India. His services can be used by the team to deal with any unexpected injury to the primary team players. 

At present, the opening batters for team India are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and they are doing well in the game. 

Why Avesh Khan is returning to India from the T20 World Cup 2024?

Avesh Khan is also assumed to return to India from the ICC T20 Men’s World Cup 2024 as the management believes that there are many pacers in the team including Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey. His requirement in the team is less as India has 5 seamers as an alternative and 4 of them are right-handed bowlers. 

The upcoming Super 8 stage matches are scheduled to occur in the West Indies. The pitches, grounds, and weather of that place require spinners in the team to win matches. 

Which other player is returning to India from T20 World Cup 2024?

Reports say that Rinku Singh is also joining Gill and Khan who are returning to India from the T20 Men’s World Cup this year before Super 8 stage. It is confirmed that Rinku Singh will continue to extend his stay with team India as a substitute. Together with Singh, Khaleel Ahmed will also stay as a substitute player with the Indian team. At this time, India only has Arshdeep Singh as their left-hand pacer.
