Former England skipper Eoin Morgan believes India's deep squad makes them strong T20 World Cup contenders.
India's remarkable reservoir of talent and formidable depth within their squad makes them strong contenders to win the upcoming T20 World Cup, feels former England skipper Eoin Morgan.
India have gone with almost the same squad as they had in the last edition of the T20 World Cup while adding the likes of young Yashasvi Jaiswal, Yuzvendra Chahal and Sanju Samson.
"The strongest side even with injuries throughout the tournament is India. Their strength and depth is absolutely incredible," Morgan said on Sky Sports.

"And it's almost probably, we're talking about who the players that were missed out in their squad of 15 because of the quality that they possess.
"They are favourites for me, the quality they have on paper, if they produce it I think they can beat anybody quite well in the tournament," he added.
India were spoilt for choice as they were forced to leave the likes of Shubman Gill and K.L. Rahul.
