Everyone else is OK. But Avesh Khan? He seems to be a selector's favorite. He and Arshdeep somehow manages to get selected to the Indian national team most of the time. One thing that I don't understand is why we have this Ranji Trophy competition. The top wicket takers are almost never considered for national team selection. Jalaj Saxena was the topper in 2023. Anyway, let's leave him as he is 37 years old. But what about Shams Mulani, Kishan Singha and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja? What do they need to do, in order to get selected?

Avesh Khan is the worst choice that is correct and he always manages to get selected. He is not that kind of a bowler to give confidence to the captain. I doubt he will be part of the playing squad. I think Rohit will go with three seamers like he did in South Africa. India has three wc in this team and druv jurel if plays would be debuting.

Dhrv Jurel is a good player, and he performed well in the U19 tournaments and later in the Indian first class matches. On the other hand, Avesh Khan got a ton of chances given to him on a platter by the selectors, and still failed to perform as per expectations. But I agree that India may go with three seamers, because that's what they have done in the recent times. in a decade or so, the Indian bowling setup has changed from 1 seamer/3 spinners to 3 seamers/1 spinner. And with the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin due sometime soon, there will be close to zero chances of witnessing two full time spinners in the Indian squad.
