No surprises in T20 WC squad

At that time, with the captain and coach, Amol Muzumdar, who was just two series old, trying to forge a bond, these call ups felt like an ambitious task. A few days after Kaur's remarks, while commentating on the game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Giants, Muzumdar echoed the sentiments saying "I would want another pool of 20-25 players to create a bench strength for the Indian team." If you look at the squad announced for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Dubai, one can trace the importance given to the performances in the league.
