Test cricket is best cricket, as they say and there's always fun to witness India play the West Indies in the game's long form. The soon to begin series against the visiting West Indies side will be an ideal opportunity for some noted talents operating at the domestic level to mark their big key India debuts. While on one hand, in composed and solid batters such as KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, India already have a well structured and confident side, there are always contests such as the forthcoming series against the Windies where new talents and rising names could be tried to examine India’s talent pool.
Which is why perhaps it makes perfect sense to try some of the following but also exciting names versus the Roston Chase-led West Indies who’ll be playing two games in India when it comes to the longest format of the sport.
Here are three Players from Duleep Trophy who could be considered for Test series vs West Indies:
Yash Dhull
One of the most interesting, enterprising and fantastic batting talents currently operating in the first class circuit for India, one certainly hopes that Yash Dhull gets his big and keenly awaited India breakthrough, an ideal way for that could be selection to play the Tests versus the West Indies team. Dhull, most recently fired a vital century in the Duleep Trophy and despite undergoing a heart procedure last year, he has been operating in a considerably fine form when it comes to his bat. The 22-year-old, who’s confessed about scoring lots of runs and that too, quickly could be an apt fit when it comes to playing the game in its current form and the aggressive decibel when it comes to the modern day template.
Danish Malewar
A few days ago, noted young batter Danish Malewar achieved a rare but sincerely good feat in the structure of India’s domestic cricket. He hammered a double century for Central Zone playing against the North East Zone in Duleep Trophy. The name of the classy batter has been doing the rounds in the run up to Indian cricket team given his brilliance for Vidarbha. A seriously talented cricketer with great runs under his belt, it could be that Danish Malewar gets to play the Test series against the visiting West Indies side. He had, while on his way to a double century knock, bettered his previous best score in the tournament that was 153. The 21-year-old could certainly be considered for what lies ahead for India in Test cricket.
Abhimanyu Easwaran
The East Zone skipper, is no longer a new or strange name or someone whose name has just suddenly popped out for national attention. He was actually expected to play at least a Test match in England but that didn’t happen. Even previous tours to nations such as Australia had birthed the speculation about Easwaran’s high octane India debut in India whites, which didn’t happen. But can it finally happen for the right hander who has already amassed close to 8,000 first class runs along with 27 centuries. With a first class batting average that is already north of 48, Easwaran is primed to break into the Indian Test side. But how quickly can that happen for the already 29-year-old?
