BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has now revealed the squad for the T20 World Cup and said that players cannot be selected based on IPL form alone.

Speaking to the Times of India, Shah claimed that foreign experience should also be taken into account while selecting teams for the T20 World Cup tournament.

The Indian team currently lacks an all-rounder with similar abilities to Hardik. Shivam Dube is the only alternative to Haridkam, although his skills with the ball are not on par with the Mumbai Indians star.

It will be interesting to see how Rohit, India's captain, will pick his XI for the T20 World Cup.
