Asia Cup 2023:The players of Team India have been selected for the Asia Cup 2023 and if we talk about the captain of the team, then he is Rohit Sharma the responsibility of vice-captain has been given to Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya has been removed from the post of vice-captain.
Ajit Agarkar to announce Team India for Asia Cup 2023
Dravid will be physically present in Delhi for the selection committee meeting. At the same time, Captain Rohit can join through video-conferencing from Mumbai. National selector Shivsundar Das will also attend the meeting virtually. He is currently in Ireland with the Indian team.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya has captained the team in ODIs in the absence of Rohit Sharma in recent matches. He is also leading the team in T20 format. Dravid will be physically present in Delhi for the selection committee meeting. At the same time, Captain Rohit can join through video-conferencing from Mumbai. National selector Shivsundar Das will also attend the meeting virtually. He is currently in Ireland with the Indian team.
Will the rule be broken for Rahul Dravid?
If Rahul Dravid attends the meeting, it will be a violation of the BCCI convention as Indian coaches do not attend the team selection meetings. Ravi Shastri and Anil Kumble were not part of the selection committee meetings during their tenure as national coaches. In Australian cricket, the head coach is part of the national selection panel, but in India, neither the coach nor the captain has a vote in the selection committee meeting.
The chances of getting selected for the World Cup are less
As far as selecting the team for the World Cup is concerned, the ICC deadline is September 5. As of now, the selectors are likely to pick the squad for the Asia Cup only. The special thing is that most of the players of the team that will be selected for the Asia Cup will also participate in the World Cup.

The team can be announced in a press conference
There is a possibility that Agarkar may also talk to the media after the meeting. He can announce the team in the press conference at noon. The BCCI has not held any press conference with the chief selector since Chetan Sharma stepped down in February. It will also be interesting to see whether the Indian selectors choose a 15 or 17-man squad. Unlike the World Cup, the Asia Cup rules allow a 17-man squad. Bangladesh and Pakistan have selected 17-member squads.
