Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped: The Indian cricket team has been announced for the upcoming ODI series against England. Gurnoor Brar has got a chance in the team for the first time, but opener batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has not been given a place in this team. Just 24 hours before the team selection, Yashasvi had played an excellent century in ODI for Team India.
Yashasvi Jaiswal out of England tour
New Delhi: The Indian team has been announced for the three-match ODI series against England, but opener batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has not been given a chance. A day before the team selection, Yashasvi had played an unbeaten inning of 110 runs against Afghanistan, but despite that, Yashasvi did not get a place in the squad. In such a situation, Shubman Gill will open the innings with Rohit Sharma on this tour of England.
Actually, the reason behind Yashasvi not being included in the team is being said to be team combination. There is no place for Yashasvi for the opening spot in the current team. Yashasvi cannot be fitted even in the middle order, because players like KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have already strengthened their claim there. This is the reason why despite his excellent form and scoring a century, the selectors were forced to keep Yashasvi out.
Virat Kohli’s playing is also not certain
Virat Kohli’s name is also included in the squad announced for the England tour, but his playing is not considered certain. Actually, Virat is recovering from the injury suffered in IPL. For this reason he did not even play against Afghanistan. In such a situation, Virat Kohli has been included in the team, but he will be able to play only when he is completely fit. For this, Virat Kohli is going to give his fitness in London.
Hardik and Varun Chakraborty out of the team
Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakraborty have not been included in England’s ODI series. Earlier, both these players were about to leave on this tour, but Hardik got injured just before the ODI series against Afghanistan. At the same time, Varun Chakraborty has also been kept out of the squad due to injury. Both Hardik and Varun were injured in IPL.
Indian ODI team for England tour-
Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli*, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar.
