Possible shock call-ups for the 2020 T20 World Cup

#5 Suresh Raina

Suresh Raina will look to use the IPL to fire himself back into the spotlight.

One man who still believes he can be India's reliable number four for both the 2020 and 2021 T20 World Cups is Suresh Raina. All that the Chennai Super Kings legend will be thinking is he needs one good Indian Premier League and he will be right in the running.

It is unclear whether India will make the trip for the 2020 Asia Cup T20, but if they do that could provide crucial too. If Raina somehow makes that squad, he will have to perform superbly, but if he doesn't, he will have to reluctantly hope his main rivals in selection have a nightmare.

#6 James Shannon

James Shannon dismantles India in an eye-opening display.

When James Shannon scored a wonderful 60 against India, the nation was sure he would take the reigns and dominate at the top order for Ireland for years to come, but that potential hasn't come to fruition.

The opener has only recorded a career T20I average of 13.87 however and the India innings by itself has not been enough to keep him in the team for that long. So, he needs to work to regain his place. There is still time for the Irish opener though and with the selectors still looking to finalize their squad, Shannon could still be in with a shot.
