Whenever the squad of Indian Cricket Team is announced for any tournament or series, one or two deserving players fail to get a place in the team. Many a times, even the popular and experienced players didn’t get a place in the squad. In the recent times, Shardul Thakur is that one popular name who failed to get a place in the Indian team. Let’s see Why Shardul Thakur is not playing in T20 World Cup 2024?
The Indian squad for upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 has been announced. Shardul Thakur, famously known as Lord failed to get a place in the T20 World Cup 2024 Squad.

Why Shardul Thakur is not playing in T20 World Cup 2024?
Shardul is not playing in T20 World Cup 2024 because he was not selected in the 15-member squad of India for T20 WC. He was not even in the list of standby players. Shardul Thakur has not been picked in the squad for T20 World Cup because of the plenty of all rounders. The Indian team required one fast bowling all-rounder and everyone knows that Hardik Pandya fits in that role perfectly. As a backup, Shivam Dube has been picked by the selectors. So even if Shardul was selected in the squad, then also he would not get a place in the playing 11.
