New Delhi: Indian cricket team’s tour of West Indies has been announced. After the defeat in the final of the World Test Championship, the Indian team will rest for the next few days and then the West Indies tour will start from July 12. This series will end with the T20 series. Many new faces can be seen in this T20 series, who have made a splash in IPL 2023 and can make their debut in Team India’s blue jersey. Among them, the names of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh are at the top.
Next year T20 World Cup is to be played in West Indies and America only. Although there is still a lot of time in this tournament, but after the humiliating defeat in the last two consecutive T20 World Cups, this time the team management has already started preparations. This is the reason why it has been decided to prepare young players who have performed well in IPL for international cricket by giving them a chance.
IPL stars Rinku-Yashaswi got a chance
Even though the BCCI has not formally announced yet, but it has become clear that only Hardik Pandya will be the captain of the team in T20 format and will lead the team in the World Cup. According to the report of the news agency PTI, veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will no longer get a chance in this format. In such a situation, those who show their ability in IPL will be selected.
Kolkata Knight Riders’ Rinku Singh and Punjab Kings’ wicket-keeper batsman Jitesh Sharma, who impressed with their finishing in the just-concluded IPL season, are expected to get a chance in the West Indies. Apart from him, Rajasthan Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is also sure to get a chance. Jaiswal scored 625 runs in IPL 2023.
Mohit Sharma will return after 8 years!
At the same time, Chennai Super Kings opener Rituraj Gaikwad may also return to the team. Rituraj also played an important role in winning the title to Chennai with strong batting. On the other hand, medium pacer Mohit Sharma of Gujarat Titans, who made a tremendous comeback in IPL 2023, can also return to the team after 8 years. Mohit played the last T20 match for Team India in 2015.
