IPL 2026: The Board of Control for Cricket in India has intensified its strategy for the 2027 ODI World Cup. The selection committee has prepared a list of about 20 players, who will be kept under special watch during IPL 2026. According to reports, this time the selectors will not only be on TV but will also be present on the field to closely assess the players’ form, fitness and performance under pressure of the match, so that a strong team of the future can be prepared.
During IPL 2026, the BCCI selection committee will have a special eye on 5 Indian fast bowlers, which include the names of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya. These five bowlers are part of the ODI core team. In such a situation, the selectors will closely assess the fitness and form of these five players. Along with these leading bowlers, BCCI has prepared a special list of 20 players, who will be part of the race for the upcoming World Cup.
Under the plan of Indian Cricket Control, the selection process in the Indian Premier League 2026 is being strengthened. Each selector will go to the stadium to watch at least one match live in his/her zone, while the remaining matches will be assessed through TV coverage and data analytics. The board’s target is to prepare detailed feedback on at least 5 matches every week.
According to reports, the selection of players for the 2027 ODI World Cup will not depend only on statistics. Rather, equal importance will be given to the players’ fitness, form, their decisions in match situations and performance under pressure.
