Ishaan Kishan did not get a chance in the Indian team once again, these 2 players got a chance to debut!
As soon as IPL 2025 is over, the exam of young cricketers of India has started on England soil. Many young players have got a chance in the shadow series of 2 First Class Match, which started between India A and England Lions in Canterbury. This series is considered important for India’s Test team selection. In the first match of this series, two players made their debut, while many experienced players tried to prove their ability.
Ishan Kishan returned to avoid
India’s legendary wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan had high hopes for his return to the Test team, but at first glance these expectations turned into disappointment. In this match, Dhruv Jurlel was included in the playing XI in place of Ishan Kishan, who is second for wicketkeeping after Rishabh Pant.
Yashasvi Jaiswal got a chance as an opening batsman, while Sarfaraz Khan also joined the match after missing a place in the Test team. This clearly indicates that Ishan Kishan’s return to Team India is currently a distant thing. It is difficult for Ishan Kishan to get a chance in the series against England.
Two youth made great debut
In this match, two new players in the bowling department showed their talent. Haryana fast bowler Anshul Kamboj made his debut for India A team. Till now, Anshul, who has played 22 matches in first class cricket, has 74 wickets in his account and surprised everyone with 10 wickets in an innings last year.
Along with this, Vidarbha’s left -arm spinner Harsh Dubey also entered the India A team for the first time. Harsh created history by taking 69 wickets in the last Ranji Trophy season and recently took the wicket of Virat Kohli for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.
India A’s full playing XI
For this important match, Abhimanyu Ishwaran has been made the captain in the India A team. The team consists of players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurlel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, Harsh Dubey, Anshul Kamboj, Harshit Rana and Mukesh Kumar.
This team is considered very important for the future of Indian cricket, because the players who do well from here may soon get a chance in the national team. This shadow series in England will prove to be a big opportunity for young players to step into Test cricket.
