Overview
- On Sunday, Bhuvneshwar said he is concentrating on playing for Lucknow Falcons and will leave any India call-up to the selectors.
- He told reporters he would accept a national recall if selected, saying "Why would I say no if I get a call? Absolutely ready."
- Consecutive strong IPL seasons are the basis for the discussion: he took 17 wickets in 2025 and 28 wickets in 2026 while reaching 200 IPL scalps.
- No official contact from selectors or a published World Cup squad has been reported, so his selection remains possible but unconfirmed.
- At about 37 during the October–November 2027 tournament, his experience and ability to swing the new ball must be balanced against fitness, workload and India’s younger pace options.
