The Indian team will be locking horns with Australia in a T20 series after the ODI World Cup is over. This series will kick off the preparations for the T20 World Cup next year in the West Indies and the USA. It will be a great chance for Team India to try out new faces and allow them to explore their potential on the international stage. Let’s take a look at the 3 bowlers who should get a look-in in this series.
#1. Yuzvendra Chahal
Yuzvendra Chahal is not a new face but he should be one of the first names in the Indian squad for this series. He has been very consistent with his performances for the Indian team and his franchise in the IPL as well. But unfortunately, he has been sidelined whenever a multilateral tournament comes around the corner. In 2021 he was not picked up for the T20 World Cup and a year later he did not play a single match in the 2022 T20 World Cup even after being a part of the team.
For the next T20 World Cup, there is enough scope for him to feature in the squad. A leg-spinner would be vital in the shortest format and the management must look to give him an opportunity.
#2. Arshdeep Singh
The left-arm pacer played for India in the 2022 T20 World Cup and played a crucial part in taking India to the semi-finals. His form has taken a dip recently but he can add a different dimension to the bowling as he is a left-armer.
Keeping the next T20 World Cup in mind he must be included in the team. It would be very important for the management to bring him into the mix and give the required belief.
#3. Umran Malik
Another young name that should be brought into the mix is the tearaway pacer from Jammu and Kashmir, Umran Malik. Malik is one of the brightest fast bowlers in India. He was fast-tracked to the Indian setup but could not impress much. However, this is the right time to draft him into the side and give him some matches with an eye on the next T20 World Cup. His tearaway fast bowling can be a USP for the Indian bowling attack.
