The Story in Brief
Sunil Gavaskar has proposed a possible India squad for the 2027 Cricket World Cup and rated it 9/10, NDTV Sports reports. Ravi Shastri has also put forward a provisional squad, which received an 8/10 rating, according to the same outlet.
The tournament will be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in October-November. With around 14 months still to go, player form, fitness and performances in upcoming matches will shape selection. The final squad will be chosen by India’s selectors closer to the event. The available reports do not provide the names or details of either proposed squad.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative is that former players have already picked India’s World Cup team. They have not. These are early opinions, and an 8/10 or 9/10 rating is not an official selection verdict. Injuries, form and performances can change the picture quickly, especially with 14 months left. The useful test is simple: compare these projections with the selectors’ final squad and the players’ records before October-November 2027.
