in New Delhi on Monday afternoon to pick India\u2019s squad for the Asia Cup<\/a> in Sri Lanka, and Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be named the new vice-captain of the team.
Interestingly, both head coach Rahul Dravid<\/a> and captain Rohit Sharma<\/a>will attend the meeting. While Dravid will be physically present in Delhi, Rohit is likely to join via video-conferencing from Mumbai.Also joining the meeting virtually will be national selector SS Das, who is currently in Ireland with the Indian team.
The ICC deadline for picking the squad for the World Cup is September 5. For now, the selectors are likely to only pick the squad for the Asia Cup, but this bunch is likely to play the World Cup as well.
There is a possibility that Agarkar may even talk to the media post the meeting \u2014 the BCCI<\/a> hasn\u2019t
organized a press conference with the chief selector since Chetan Sharma quit the post in February.<\/p>\n
It will also be interesting to see if India\u2019s selectors pick a 15 or 17-member squad. Unlike the World Cup, Asia Cup rules permit a 17-member squad.
\u201cBangladesh and Pakistan have picked 17-member squads but they are travelling between Pakistan and Sri Lanka unlike India,\u201d said a source.<\/p>\n
