Jul 4, 2019 at 1:13 PM
Young opener Prithvi has been ruled out of the impending One-day series against the Windies A. Shaw has been keen to partake in the much-awaited series on the Caribbean shores before he had faced yet another setback. Thus, his injury has forced the selectors to hand an opportunity to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
The 22-year-old Pune-based top-order batsman Ruturaj has already represented Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Over the years, Gaikwad had played a significant role in the domestic fold while impressing selectors with his brilliant show.
Gaikwad will be a part of India A which will begin their tour next week. Also, the tour is comprised of five one-day fixtures.
The 50-over series will get underway on July 11, 2019.
In revised India A squad, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan had made it to the squad at the expense of Rishabh Pant, who’s now partaking at the ICC World Cup.
Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called up Pant to replace injured Shikhar Dhawan. Also, Mayank Agarwal later replaced Vijay Shankar, who recently picked a toe injury.
Besides, Anmolpreet, who’s the top-order batsman, has earned a call-up for being in good stead.
Manish Pandey to lead India at against the Windies:
With Manish Pandey leading the side, Shubman Gill will be a key player to watch out for apart from Hanuma Vihari. Also, the left-arm paceman Khaleel Ahmed will add variety in the bowling department
India A has a senior campaigner Axar Patel in the squad apart from handy spin-bowling allrounder, Washington Sundar.
