Ravichandran Ashwin names a projected 15-man India squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup and suggests some changes from players considered in recent discussion. In the selections he puts forward, he does not include Sanju Samson or Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and also indicates Rishabh Pant is not part of his 2027 World Cup ODI plans. Both Yahoo Sports and NDTV report that Ashwin frames these omissions as players “not making the cut” for the tournament. The sources also agree on Ashwin’s key suggestion for a “surprise” or comeback-type inclusion: Bhuvneshwar Kumar. NDTV characterizes Ashwin’s view as that Bhuvneshwar should be selected in the squad, while Yahoo Sports similarly notes Ashwin’s proposal and describes it as potentially unexpected compared with prevailing expectations. The reports present Ashwin’s squad as a commentary on India’s ODI World Cup composition rather than an official team announcement, with the emphasis on who he would exclude and the one player he highlights for inclusion.
