Asia Cup Team Selection: How many fast bowlers and all -rounders will get place in Asia Cup?

New Delhi. Shubman Gill is the best player of this season after a brilliant performance in the recent Test series against England. He will have to face a contender like Akshar Patel for the Indian team’s deputy captaincy in the Asia Cup T20 to be held in UAE next month. Apart from this, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is also sure to play in this tournament. He can be rested for the first Test match against West Indies in early October.

Ajit Agarkar -led Selection Committee can select the team for the Asia Cup on 19 or 20 August. The selection will depend on when the Center of Excellence (COE) sends the ‘medical bulletin’ of all the players. It will also include the fitness report of captain Suryakumar Yadav. He started batting on the nets in Bangalore a few days ago.

There will be some complicated decisions in the selection process, but Indian selectors would definitely like to maintain continuity. Since Suryakumar became the T20 captain, he has consecutive success to the team. Akshar was the vice -captain in India’s domestic series against England, while in Sri Lanka last year, when Suryakumar was first made the FullTime captain of the T20 team, Gill did this responsibility.

Who will be the second wicketkeeper

Samson is almost certain to be selected as the first wicketkeeper but will compete between Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Juril for the second wicketkeeper’s place. Jurael was part of the previous T20 series while Jitesh played an important role in making Royal Challengers Bangalore the champion for the first time in the Indian Premier League.

Hardik Pandya is the first choice of India’s fast bowling all -rounder, while Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was injured during the England series, is unlikely to be fit on time. Shivam Dubey, who made a good comeback against England, is likely to get a place in the team. Akshar and Washington beautiful team will be the other two spin bowling all -rounders.

The Indian team’s experienced fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is expected to be fit in the Asia Cup. Arshdeep Singh has confirmed his place with him. There will be a contest between the famous Krishna and Harshit Rana about who will be the third fast bowler in the team. The famous took 25 wickets in the last IPL.
