NDTV Exclusive | BCCI Plans Two India T20 Teams, Expands Pool To 35 Players

In an NDTV Exclusive, the BCCI is planning a major shift in India’s T20 approach, with a larger pool of around 35 players and the possibility of fielding two teams simultaneously. The move comes amid a packed international calendar and a potential clash with the Asian Games. The Ireland tour is likely to serve as a key testing ground for emerging players, while a second India side could be led by Shreyas Iyer. The strategy signals a stronger focus on squad depth, with IPL performances expected to play a crucial role in selection.
