The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah made stunning remarks on the selection of the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 which will be held in the USA and West Indies. He said IPL performances were not the only criteria for selection, they had to consider overseas condition experience as well.

Jay Shah revealed that the squad has a good balance of form and experience. He said the selectors didn't choose the squad just on the basis of performance in IPL. Experience in overseas conditions was also put into consideration.
