Reports claim that Virat Kohli might be dropped from T20 World Cup 2024 squad | Source: X.com
Former England pace bowler Stuart Broad has weighed in on the report of Virat Kohli’s potential exclusion from the T20 World Cup squad, asserting that Kohli’s stature as a top-tier player makes his omission unlikely, particularly in such a prestigious tournament.
A recent Telegraph report suggested that Virat Kohli could face exclusion from the T20 World Cup squad due to concerns about his compatibility with slow wickets, particularly those in the USA and West Indies, which are slated to co-host the tournament this year.
Responding to a post on X [Formerly Twitter], Stuart Broad wrote the following:
“This can’t be true. Just from a fans point of view of growing the game, the ICC putting games on in America, India Vs Pakistan in New York, Virat is the biggest draw of any player in the world, I’m sure he will be selected.”

Given Virat Kohli’s track record in the T20 World Cup thus far, it seems highly improbable that he’ll be omitted from the 2024 squad. However, according to an InsideSport report, his performance in the 2024 IPL will be scrutinised for T20 World Cup selection.
