The ICC Cricket World Cup is only a month away, and there’s still no word on which players will represent Team India at the prestigious cricket tournament. The World Cup is the biggest sporting event in cricket and is held once every four years. 10 top teams of the world compete over two months to lift the trophy and seal their name as the absolute best cricket team on the planet.
The 2023 Cricket World Cup will be held in India from October 5 to November 19. Fans are frantic, and even the official ticket booking site crashed due to extreme traffic. Yet, we all have been left wondering which players will comprise the team squad for the World Cup.

World Cup Potential Players List of India
Rohit Sharma is the captain of the national men’s cricket team of India. He is expected to lead the squad at the World Cup as well.
KL Rahul is expected to join the lineup having healed well from his injuries and would be the first choice of wicketkeeper as well.
Sanju Samson, Tilak Verma and Prasidh Krishna are unlikely to make the cut.
Sharma will be captaining the team at the Asia Cup 2023 as well, along with Hardik Pandya as the vice-captain. The Asia Cup will be a good stage for Team India to showcase their talents and make a statement before the World Cup. The performance could also be a confidence booster for many players like Shreyas Iyer and Jasprit Bumrah, who are coming off long injury layoffs.
While the BCCI will announce the player list on September 5, the Asia Cup 2023 will continue till September 17. It remains to be seen if any last-minute changes will occur based on India’s Asia Cup performance.
