IPL फाइनल से पहले होगा टीम इंडिया का ऐलान, इंग्लैंड दौरे के लिए 2 जगह, 6 नाम
New Delhi. Season 18 of IPL is now slowly reaching its shabab. The good thing for Indian cricket is that senior players are returning to color and the team’s match winner is seen getting the form. The selection committee will also be breathing in the breath as they have to select the team for the tour of England before the finals.
The selection committee can announce the India and India A team for the England Test tour in the second week of May and in such a situation they will have to consider the names of at least six contenders for two places of the middle order. The BCCI sent a 17 -member team on a tour of Australia but the last team for the five Tests against England may be 15 or 16 players. At the time of this tour, India’s A team will also remain in England and in such a situation, the player of the A team can be called as per the need of the main team.
Screw on middle order selection
The National Selection Committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, will need to consider a lot of thoughts to choose some players, especially the reserve batsmen. If all the players are fit and healthy then the place of captain Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Lokesh Rahul, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli will be decided in the last Ekad. Nitish Kumar Reddy will be in the role of an all -rounder. If there are 15 players in the team going on the tour, then an additional middle order will be a place for the batsman. If there are 16 players in the team, then two such players can be included. The tour will start from June 20 and end in the first week of August. Right now no one would like to decide the name of the middle -order batsmen, but according to the information of the sources, at least six names are expected to be discussed. If not two of them, one can get a place in the senior team, while the rest will certainly be part of the India A series against England Lions (A team) at the same time.
New claims have power
Sai Sudarshan – Sai Sudarshan Lal, who scored seven centuries in 29 matches of first class, is also a player who should be monitored. 5 half -centuries in Sai 7 matches have already proved themselves for Gujarat Titans in IPL. The selectors will also be eyeing this Khabu batsman because their technology is good and they also performed well for India A in Australia before they were injured. His biggest strength is that along with starting the innings, he can also bat in the middle order according to the need of the team. He is a long -run player and at the age of 23, he looks ready for a big challenge.
Shreyas Iyer– Shreyas has proved to be a player to emerge with better technology in the red ball format after facing reprimand from BCCI to prefer IPL in place of Ranji cricket last year. He has started playing short pitch balls well now than before. Experience will be very useful on England tour and after playing 14 Tests including a Test in England in 2022, he knows about the challenges.
Silver-Patyar has a great ability to play technology and easily around the field, but if he looks at the figures, he has lost his opportunity in Test cricket by not hitting a single half -century on the home ground against England. Ranji’s previous session (less than 450 runs) did not run according to the scheme, in such a situation, the committee led by Agarkar will trust him once again.
Karun Nair- In the Test, only the second batsman Nair, who scored a triple century for India, had lost his rhythm in the middle order, but after joining Vidarbha, he managed to make a brilliant comeback in the form. The domestic season was a dream for him, in which he scored more than 850 runs in first -class matches. Who knows that the tour of England may be a chance for him.
Devdutt Padikkal– Another left -handed batsman who got a chance to make a Test debut in the first match in the absence of captain Rohit Sharma on the tour of Australia. In the second innings, Padikkal showed a glimpse of his talent during an impressive partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. He is in good form in the IPL and if he is unable to make a place in the senior team, then he will definitely join India A team.
Sarfaraz Khan- After scoring 150 runs in Bengaluru in October against New Zealand, Sarfaraz should have confirmed his place in the Test team, but he lost his place with some poor shot selection in the next Test matches. In Australia, he was like a tourist and was not even discussed about him to make it to the first XI. However, selectors can consider their names for continuity.
