New Delhi. India and England will have a three-match ODI series in Pune. The host Indian team is to be announced soon for this one-day series. Do not be surprised if you get to see some new faces in the team, because such reports are coming out that the Board of Control for Cricket in India, ie BCCI, can choose two players, one of whom has played international cricket for the first time. The other has never played in international cricket.
Karnataka’s fast bowler Krishna, who returned with 14 wickets in the recently concluded Vijay Hazare Trophy, could be picked in the Indian ODI squad for the upcoming series against England. He can even play his first match in this series. There is every possibility of this. Apart from the famous Krishna, all-rounder Krunal Pandya may get a place in the Indian ODI team for the first time. Krunal Pandya has played T20 international cricket for the country, but may get a chance in the ODI team for the first time.
Krishna Pace, one of the most successful fast bowlers in the Indian domestic circuit over the years, will pair up with Mohammad Siraj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Navdeep Saini and Shardul Thakur in the Pace department. Jaspreet Bumrah, who announced his marriage on Monday, may go on long leave. At the same time, Krunal Pandya may be in the 18-man squad as an all-rounder, as Ravindra Jadeja is not going to return to the team, as he is still recovering from injury.
Krunal Pandya scored two centuries and two half-centuries in the recently held Vijay Hazare Trophy, while also achieving some successes. Apart from this, he also played a good innings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy played earlier, but after the father’s demise, he came out of the bio-bubble. However, Prithvi Shaw, who scored 827 runs for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Devdutt Padikkal, who scored 737 runs for Karnataka, may have to wait.
According to the Cricbuzz report, it is believed that selectors KL Rahul, Shubhaman Gill, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma will not include any players in the team for the opening pair and all four openers will be held on 23, 26 and 28 March. Is scheduled to get a place in the team for the three matches to be played in Pune. There is also the possibility that no one will be given rest. Mohammed Shami is also unlikely to return to the ODI squad as he too is recovering from injury.
