India announced their 15-member squad for the 2023 World Cup, including KL Rahul who was injured during the Asia Cup. Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Ravichandran Ashwin were notable exclusions.

The selectors named Ishan Kishan as the second wicketkeeper-batter, and captain Rohit Sharma did not rule out the possibility of playing both Kishan and Rahul in the playing XI.

WTC Final: Shastri, Cummins, Hussain, and Smith weigh in on India vs Australia matchup.

Ravi Shastri, the former Indian team coach, compared the situation of the 2021 and 2023 World Test Championship finals and said they were like chalk and cheese. He believes that the circumstances of the 2021 final were tough due to Covid and quarantine, while both teams have had enough time to prepare for the 2023 final. Shastri, along with Ricky Ponting and Wasim Akram, feel that the Indians are better prepared for the final with IPL game-time under their belt. The Oval track will remain fresher than usual as it has never hosted a Test match in June in the venue’s 140-year history.
