The Asia Cup is going to start from 9 September. The Indian team has not been announced yet for this multinational cricket tournament lasting 21 days. However, it is believed that on August 19 or 20, Ajit Agarkar -led Selection Committee, will reach its final decision in this matter. Now when the team will be announced, which players will get a place in it? What will be India’s batting order? What are the faces in the top order? These are all questions, whose answers will be monitored.
These players can play in top order
The report published by PTI quoting BCCI sources in this context shows Team India’s batting line-up to a large extent. According to sources, selectors will not be in the mood for much change. This is because Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma and Hardik Pandya are already very strong players.
Gill cannot be ignored
According to the PTI source, Abhishek Sharma is currently the world’s number one T20 batsman in the ICC rankings. Sanju Samson performed brilliantly with both bat and keeping gloves in the previous season. The idea of inclusion of Shubman Gill in the team is also going on. Gill cannot be ignored by looking at the recent form and performance in IPL. The source said that the big headache in front of the selectors is that many good players are present in the top order of India. It is very difficult to make a place for the top Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan while his.
Shivam Dubey may be backup of Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya First Chowish Paes will be all -rounder in the team. Shivam Dubey can be included in the Asia Cup team as his backup. Left -handed batsman Shivam Dubey made a good comeback in the last series against England. If Suryakumar Yadav remains fit, he is sure to remain captain in the Asia Cup. However, there are suspense between Akshar Patel and Shubman Gill on the issue of vice-week. If Shubman Gill is selected in the Asia Cup team, then he can see the vice-captaincy. By the way, in the last T20 series played at home against England, Akshar Patel played this responsibility.
