On the basis of fitness and medical reports, it will be decided which players will get a place in the squad. At present, the fitness report of Suryakumar Yadav has also not been revealed yet. However, he has started the practice of batting in NCA.

First 5 players are sure, but Rinku-Jayaswal out!

In Ajit Agarkar’s leadership, the selection committee can announce the Indian squad for the Asia Cup on 19 or 20 August. Abhishek Sharma is the world’s number-1 T20 batsman, the last season has passed very well for Sanju Samson. Tilak Verma, captain Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, ie these 5 players are almost confirmed in the squad. The selection committee would hardly like to make any change in the upper order batting.

Given the strength of the top order, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan can hardly make a place in the T20 team. As a wicketkeeper Sanju Samson can be the first choice, while the backup wicketkeeper may be in a fight between Dhruv Juril and Jeetesh Sharma. Nitish Kumar Reddy is injured, and he is less expected to fit till the Asia Cup. On the other hand, Shivam Dubey, who plays strong innings against England this year, can get a place as an all -rounder. Being a more all -rounder, Rinku Singh may also have to lose his hand from his place.

Jasprit is confirmed in place of Bumrah!

In fast bowling, Jasprit seems to be confirmed in place of Bumrah, on the other hand, the highest wicket -taker Arshdeep for India will also play Arshdeep. Varun Chakraborty can play the role of the chief spinner, who has taken 31 wickets in 12 matches after his return to the T20 team. Whether or not Kuldeep Yadav will get a chance, it will also be worth seeing, while the all -round department can come on the shoulders of Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar. The real fight will be to become a third pace, for which one of the famous Rana and one of the famous Krishna can be selected.

All -round and bowling department is strong
