After Australia snatched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by 3-1, it raised many eyebrows about the selection committee of the Indian cricket team led by Ajit Agarkar. After that situation for the upcoming England series and Champions Trophy, the Indian cricket team’s selection is taking a strategic approach to player management.
Jasprit Bumrah rested from England Series
Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who sustained back spasms, is likely to be rested for the majority of India’s home white-ball series against England, keeping an eye on the ICC Champions Trophy, starting from February 19.
Jaiswal is the backup opener.
Young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal is reportedly considered a backup opener for both the England ODIs and the Champions Trophy, reflecting the selectors’ faith in the promising batsman.
Siraj is set to be rested for the series
Mohammed Siraj’s schedule appears to be carefully planned, with the pacer likely to skip the T20Is against England while remaining available for the ODI series and Champions Trophy. The selection committee is also reportedly considering including all-rounder Washington Sundar and left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the squad. The official team will be announced on 12 January.
The probable squad of Team India
Rohit Sharma, Subhuman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishav Pant, Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohammad Shami, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
