Watch: Rohit Sharma calls 16th December 2022 as the 20-20 World Cup team selection date, video goes viral

It often happens in life that when everything is going bad around you, nothing can be done no matter how much you try. The same is the case with India skipper Rohit Sharma. This week hasn't gone his way. In the ongoing Asia Cup 2022, the team has crashed out of the final race after losing two games in the Super Four round.

Sharma, who was the fan favorite up until last weekend, has demanded to be sacked from captaincy. In the midst of all this, teams such as Australia, England, and South Africa have announced their squad for the 20-20 World Cup 2022. India is supposed to be doing it around September 15 or 16. A question was asked on the same topic by a journalist.

To the surprise of all fans, the right-hander replied by saying that 16th December 2022 will be the date of the squad announcement. For the unversed, this is factually wrong as the showpiece event will be played in October and November this year. Also, the World Cricket Governing Council has asked teams to decide on their squads by 15th September. India hasn't done it so far as they were waiting for Asia Cup 2022 to end.

Talking about the Rohit Sharma-led side, the team will play their last game of the continental tournament against Afghanistan on September 8. Both teams have been eliminated from the final race. They both won their Group stages games coming in the Top Four clashes. However, they have struggled to win games despite being in winning positions.

Now, they will be looking to salvage some pride and move on from the disappointment. India will be more disappointed in the two as they were the defending champions of the tournament. Both teams would now concentrate on the 20-20 World Cup next month.
