The Men in Blue have their eyes on the T20 World Cup and they will aim to win the championship this time under the competent captaincy of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-led-team-india-followed-thrilling-ind-vs-aus-cwg-2022-final-closely-in-florida/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> and Rahul Dravid&#8217;s coaching. There are currently several players vying for spots in the Indian team, with only a few months until the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, which begins in October.

Nevertheless, even though they were named to the squad for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies, there is a chance that some of them won&#8217;t really be picked for the mega event. There were a handful of players who performed well recently, but there are also some who have been inconsistent. Without further ado, let&#8217;s look at five individuals from West Indies T20I series who might not make it to the T20 World Cup squad.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-680056" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shreyas-Iyer.jpg" alt="Shreyas Iyer" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-680056" class="wp-caption-text">Shreyas Iyer (Photo Source: Twitter/WI)</figcaption>

India has backed <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/west-indies-vs-india-5th-t20i-stats-review-shreyas-iyers-feat-ravi-bishnois-best-bowling-figures-and-other-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shreyas Iyer</a> continuously, but he has not managed to put up a remarkable performance in the T20I format, except for the fifth T20I against West Indies on Sunday in Florida. Iyer emerged as a prolific performer in the ODI format but could not carry the same momentum in the shorter format.

Speaking of Iyer’s numbers in the T20Is, he has 1029 runs from the 46 matches that he has played, averaging 33.19 &#8211; his lowest across all the three formats. Ever since he made his T20I debut in November 2017, his best knock has been that of 74*(44) against Sri Lanka, which came in February 2022.

As India prepares for the Asia Cup 2022, Shreyas Iyer&#8217;s performance will be closely watched because tackling the short ball has been a major issue for him. This will help the players get ready for the T20 World Cup and will also help management determine the squad.

(Photo by ISHARA S. KODIKARA/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Injuries have kept Kuldeep Yadav out of the international setup for a long time, and as a result, he missed the fixtures against South Africa, Ireland, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-announce-14-player-squad-for-first-two-tests-against-south-africa-ollie-robinson-returns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> before making his return in the West Indies series. But even then, the BCCI had revealed that he would be given a chance only if he was fit to play.

Kuldeep Yadav played just one game in the entire West Indies series, that being the last and final T20I of the five-match series, which India had already won with that particular game to spare. He returned with figures of 3/12 in four overs and impressed everyone.

But with the spinners like Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Ashwin, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja getting more attention as compared to Yadav, the Indian selectors might as well keep him out of the squad in order to give an opportunity to those in form.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-664144" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Sanju-Samson2.jpg" alt="Sanju Samson" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-664144" class="wp-caption-text">Sanju Samson. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Sanju Samson has always had to face a difficult situation in the international setup. Even after being named in the squad, he was not given many opportunities to play. After performing well in the ODI series against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/west-indies-vs-india-5th-t20i-stats-review-shreyas-iyers-feat-ravi-bishnois-best-bowling-figures-and-other-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">West Indies</a>, it looked like he would get a chance for the T20I series, given his momentum.

However, he was picked for only the final two games that happened in Florida, and just like every usual time, he and his fans waited for him to get the chance he deserved. That mentality of the team selectors and management gives an idea about Samson’s future with the team, especially for the T20 World Cup.

Samson&#8217;s performances have been inconsistent, but that was major because of the lack of opportunities as he could not play back-to-back games. There have been many pauses in his international career, and thus his chances to make it to the world cup squad look blur.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-664569" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Avesh-Khan-1.jpg" alt="Avesh Khan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-664569" class="wp-caption-text">Avesh Khan. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

With <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/arshdeep-singh-is-pretty-high-on-pecking-order-in-terms-of-t20-world-cup-selection-saba-karim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arshdeep Singh</a> emerging as a strong pace option in the squad, Avesh Khan needs to find a silver lining to get his place in the side. In the recent few games, where both of them have performed together, the left-arm pacer has given better performances as compared to Avesh.

Avesh’s tendency is to give away many runs rather than maintaining the line and length and focusing on the wicket. It is exactly the opposite with Arshdeep, who keeps his economy under check, thereby getting the crucial wickets whenever needed.

It is difficult to expect Avesh to perform well in every game, and thus he might not be named in India’s World Cup squad. He needs to work more on his ability to out-think the batter in order to give tough competition to the other contenders and make himself stand out.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-656852" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Ishan-Kishan.jpg" alt="Ishan Kishan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-656852" class="wp-caption-text">Ishan Kishan. (Photo by Pankaj Nangia/Gallo Images/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The prolific opening batter, Ishan Kishan, has been sidelined off late. Once a regular in the side in the top-order, during the time he made his debut, the southpaw hasn&#8217;t been given many chances lately. India has been tinkering with the playing combinations, and as a result, many players have emerged as contenders for the opening spot.

KL Rahul has recovered from his injury and will be back with the Indian side anytime soon. With a jam-packed top order consisting of Virat Kohli, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/wi-vs-ind-rohit-sharma-and-co-indulge-in-a-victory-lap-as-indian-skipper-drives-golf-cart-in-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a>, and Rahul, Kishan’s place in the squad has blurred.

He has had a decent outing recently, and as mentioned above, he has also missed out on opportunities as the Indian management kept changing the playing combination. Thus, it will be a challenge for the youngster to leave a mark in the limited time period.

The Men in Blue have their eyes on the T20 World Cup and they will aim to win the championship this time under the competent captaincy of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-led-team-india-followed-thrilling-ind-vs-aus-cwg-2022-final-closely-in-florida/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> and Rahul Dravid’s coaching.

5 Indian players from West Indies T20I series who might not get picked for T20 World Cup 2022

With the T20 World Cup nearing, let us have a look at five players, who were a part of the West Indies series, who can miss out on the event.
