The Indian squad for the much-awaited 5-match Test series against England Test squad has been announced with a few new names and some omissions. This will be a tough challenge for the Indian team as the ‘Bazball’ philosophy of England is a force to reckon with. Moving further in this article, we will talk about those 3 names who should have been considered for selection.
Sarfaraz Khan
The first name that pops up whenever a test squad announcement is around the corner is Sarfaraz Khan. The 26-year-old adventurous middle-order batter from Mumbai has been a shining star in first-class cricket with mind-boggling numbers to his name. In the last few years, a lot has been talked about Sarfaraz but apparently, selectors have a different thought process.
Once again, he has not been able to get a call-up for the Indian Test squad but looking at his domestic performance in the last few years his name deserves a space in the Indian roster.
Abhimanyu Easwaran
Now that the team India is looking to step into a new era in test cricket with new faces being tried out, one name that deserves discussion is Abhimanyu Easwaran. The top-order batter from Bengal has been one of the most consistent names in the domestic circuit. Not just in the domestic circuit but Easwaran has also led the India-A team doing considerably well on that level as well.
The 28-year-old right-hander has some brilliant stats to show and the selectors should not overlook the immense potential that this individual possesses.
Ishan Kishan
A very strange snub has been of Ishan Kishan. Kishan did well in the test series on West Indies which should have ensured his place in the squad. However, there also have been contradicting rumours about him asking for a break and team management not being happy with his discipline.
An Indian cricket fan would hope that there are no such untoward things happening because the youngster is in the formative stage of his career and has a lot to offer to Indian cricket.
