India Set to Field Two Debutants in the First Test Against West Indies
India’s cricketing future is looking bright, with two new faces set to make their debut in the first Test against West Indies. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan are set to open the batting for India, with Jaydev Unadkat pipping Mukesh Kumar in the selection process.
India’s Transition Period
India have had to make do without some of their biggest names, such as KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant, Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah. This has provided the team management with the opportunity to test out some new players and give them a chance to prove their worth.
A New Opener
India have had three different openers in the last 12 months, and now they have a fourth. Yashasvi Jaiswal will join Rohit Sharma in the opening partnership, while Ishan Kishan is set to make his debut after KS Bharat failed to impress in Rishabh Pant’s absence.
Conclusion
India are set to field two debutants in the first Test against West Indies, which is set to start on Wednesday at 7:30 PM IST. This is a great opportunity for the team management to test out some new players and get a glimpse of the future of Indian cricket.
