Will Karun Nair get another chance?
Karun Nair got a chance in the Indian team after eight years. But he flopped badly on England tour. Nair played four Tests, in which he scored just 205 runs in eight innings at an average of just 25. In such a situation, his place is not being decided in the current series. It is being said that Devdutt Padikkal may get a chance instead of a 33 -year -old player.
A few days ago, Devdutt Padikkal, who played a brilliant 150 runs against Australia A team in Lucknow, has emerged as a strong contender. Padikkal, who was part of the team in the previous border-gavaskar trophy, is ready to return after a long time.
Dhruv Jurlel in place of Inzard Rishabh
Apart from Karun Nair, there is no possibility of much change in the team playing in the England series. During the Old Trafford Test, Rishabh Pant, who is fractured in his right toe, is not fully recovered and he will still be out of the team. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Center of Excellence of Bangalore.
Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan and KL Rahul can be in the top order. All -rounder may have experienced players like Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Akshar Patel. All spin are all -rounders. Along with this, Kuldeep Yadav can also be a part of the squad.
India’s 15 -member possible squad: Shubman Gill (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurael, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Nitish Reddy and N. Jagdishan
