India Team for ICC World Cup 2023 Announced: Check Complete Squad, Players List, Captain, Batsmen, Bowlers and All-Rounders

ICC World Cup 2023 India Team and Players: One of the biggest sporting events in the world is the quadrennial ICC Cricket World Cup. It’s held every four years and is among the most-watched sports tournaments on the planet.

The 2023 ICC World Cup will commence from October 5. This season is also special because it’s being hosted in India, a country where the sport is beloved by every strata of society and players are worshipped like idols.

With only a month left to go before the action begins, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), announced the official Team India squad for the 2023 ICC World Cup. Social media was rife with speculation regarding which players would make the cut, and many fans were severely disappointed with early reports.

Recently, former cricketer Ajit Agarkar, who is heading the selection panel, travelled to Sri Lanka to consult with captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid about the latest developments. The squad was announced in a press conference on September 5.

There are a few surprises in the final 15-player World Cup squad of India. But we always expected the BCCI to throw a few googlies.
