4 From Mumbai Indians, None From 3 Sides: IPL Team-Wise Distribution Of India's Cricket World Cup 2023 Squad

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar announced the squad for Cricket World Cup 2023 on Tuesday. Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah - the trio that made their return from injury recently - were all included in the squad while Sanju Samson and youngster Tilak Varma missed out. Suryakumar Yadav found a spot as a specialist batter while Ishan Kishan was the pick for wicket-keeper batter. In the spin department, Yuzvendra Chahal was a notable omission.

"There were a couple of fitness issues we had but all three players have come back, KL is looking good. We feel this squad gives us the best balance for this World Cup," chief selector Ajit Agarkar said.

"KL looked really good there but picked up a niggle just before the Asia Cup. He has gotten over it. He is an important player for us and we are happy to have him." Hardik Pandya was named the vice captain of the Indian squad.
