So, they are now working on creating a pool of around 30 to 35 players who are fully prepared to play international cricket whenever needed. Since cricket is now set to return in the 2028 Olympics, the focus is on building depth and flexibility as they aim for players who can adjust quickly, travel, and perform under pressure without much preparation time.
30-35 player pool in focus, confirms BCCI official
A BCCI official was quoted as saying by NDTV: “The Asian Games and the India vs West Indies T20 Series are going to be at the same time. So, we have to look at two T20 teams playing. It is important from now on to have a pool of 30-35 cricketers who can be called up for international assignments. For the upcoming Ireland tour, like most tours to the UK, a bigger pool of players will be kept in the squad. This will extend for the Asian Games.”

The impact of the IPL 2026 is clearly visible as the young batters like Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Priyansh Arya, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have impressed everyone with their attacking style. They are fearless and are now part of this plan.
Ravi Bishnoi continues to be a key spinner in white-ball cricket, while fast bowlers like Khaleel Ahmed, Prasidh Krishna, Ashok Sharma, and Kartik Tyagi are being considered to strengthen the pace attack. Dhruv Jurel is leading the race for the wicketkeeping role for the second T20I team.
