India’s squad for the five-match T20I sequence in opposition to West Indies has a younger look. Veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja didn’t discover a place within the squad whereas the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma bought their maiden T20I callups. The indication of the BCCI selctors, led by newly-appointed head of the panel Ajit Agarkar, is evident that they wish to take a look at the children within the shortest codecs.

Hardik Pandya might be main the aspect within the five-match contest, whereas Suryakumar Yadav might be his deputy. Varma has been a notable member of the Mumbai Indians aspect for the previous two seasons and with a strike-rate of 142-plus in 47 video games, batting at No 5 has clearly attracted the nationwide choice panel’s consideration. Jaiswal, however, lately earned his maiden Test call-up for the West Indies sequence.

Apart from Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill are the opposite openers within the aspect. Sanju Samson together with Kishan are the wicketkeeping choices. Suryakumar and Pandya are the 2 senior-most gamers within the aspect. The selectors have additionally gone forward with 4 spinners –  Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravi Bishnoi – and 4 pacers -Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, Mukesh Kumar.

Commenting on the group choice, former India opener Aakash Chopra made an fascinating remark.

“Nowadays, when you got to West Indies you pack your side with spinners as players There are four options in spin-bowling – Yuzi (Yuzvendra) Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi being the leg-spinners while Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are the left-arm spinning Axar Patel will be ahead in this race because Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not there. I am assuming it is part of workload management,” Aakash Chopra stated on his YouTube channel.

“There shouldn’t be any question marks over Ravindra Jadeja in terms of T20Is, just my thought. He will play Tests and ODIs as well. So you say that he can rest a little. You should play Axar Patel and then you have got other spinning options as well. So that could be the thinking.”
