BCCI is likely to give preference to new faces in Team India on the tour of West Indies
Team India, which has finished the WTC final, has a month’s rest. After that, the Indian team is touring the West Indies for a series of ODIs, T20Is and Test matches. There are chances that BCCI will give preference to new faces from this series as it prepares to build the future Team India. If there is a wind of change in Team India, these five young players will play for Team India.
Yassavi Jaiswal: The 21-year-old uncapped star is likely to play for India’s Test team and T20 team in the Caribbean tour. Currently, Jaiswal, who was sensational in the IPL, was in the orange cap race with 625 runs CDC. Also, Jaiswal will play an important role in giving the team an explosive start as the opener.
Mukesh Sharma: Mukesh was one of the three reserve pacers selected in Team India for the WTC finals. Mukesh, who was part of India’s squad for the South Africa series last year, was also selected for the series against Lanka and New Zealand. But he did not get a chance to play a single match. Thus, there is a good chance for Mukesh to make his Test debut during the West Indies tour.
Rinku Singh: Five sixes for five balls in the last over in the history of IPL, Rinku Singh, who brought an exciting victory to the KKR team, is also likely to get a chance to make his debut for Team India in the ODI and T20 series during the West Indies tour.
Jitesh Sharma: Jitesh Sharma, who was selected in India’s T20 squad for the home series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand, did not get a chance in the playing eleven. But Jitesh, who performed brilliantly in the IPL this time, is likely to get a place in Team India in the five-match T20 series against West Indies.
Sarfaraz Khan: Despite scoring a lot in domestic cricket, Sarfaraz has yet to get a chance in Team India. Therefore, the BCCI, which aims to build the future Test team of Team India, is likely to allow Sarfaraz Khan in the 2-match Test series against the West Indies.
