Bumrah and Pandey will be missed by indians in the series. However it a good opportunity for Krishna and Surya Yadav to proof themselves in the tournament and make a permanent spot in the national team.
Is Jasprit Bumrah staying away from the team due to his marriage, he skipped the final Test and the T20 series and now the ODI. Good to see many youngsters getting the opportunity.
As you can see the 18 men squad, already 4 openers are sitting there (KL Rahul, Rohit, Sikhar, Gill). Hard to add another opener in the squad, competition is tough but Prithvi Shaw/Devdutt Padikkal time will come as Sikhar Dhawan seems to losing his charm nowadays. They will move up to the ranks anyway in the next 2-3 years.
I wish Devdutt Padikkal got selected as he was in great form and even if there is no slot in the playing eleven he should be selected as scoring 4 centuries back to back is not a small feat and he is really young and a selection would have elevated his confidence.
