- Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur performance in the recently concluded tri-series involving hosts South Africa A and Afghanistan A was impressive. He bowled with pace and picked wickets for the team taking 9 wickets in the 4 matches he played in the tournament. His ability to bowl with aggression is a bowler team India needs in ODI format who can wickets in the middle overs.
The 25-year pace bowler has been the mainstay of Mumbai bowling line up in the Ranji Trophy. He was selected in the team for West Indies tour but could not play. Thakur could be given a chance in place of Umesh Yadav who has been playing non-stop test cricket.
