The T20 World Cup 2022 loss has paved a way for transition in Indian Cricket Team. Various media reports have suggested that the Men in Blue will include fresh faces in the side with Hardik Pandya being the new skipper as seniors will focus on the ODIs considering the Cricket World Cup 2023 slated to take place this year.
Going by this manner, it’s likely that Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw will be the three contenders for the opening spot. While Kishan and Gill previously were part of the team, Shaw is likely to receive a call-up after his impressive performance in domestic circuit. Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, who also will be skipper, are likely to be the core players for the next couple of years in the middle order.
Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson are expected to be two wicketkeepers in the side. While Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal are likely to be the three spinners in the side. The four pacers in the side are expected to Arshdeep Singh, Umran Malik, Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel.
