IND vs ENG: The fortunes of some Indian players may shine in the ODI series between India and England. In the Indian team squad selected for this series, there are three players who are waiting for their ODI debut. Although it is certain that it is difficult for all three to get a chance, but one player will definitely make his debut. It is possible that in the first ODI itself, that player may get a chance to play his first ODI. However, the picture will be clear only when captain Rohit Sharma comes to the middle ground for the toss on February 6.

Varun Chakraborty's sudden entry in the team

The team was announced by the BCCI long ago for the ODI series against England, but suddenly taking a big decision, the selectors told on the evening of February 4 that Varun Chakraborty will also be in the team for this series. Although no one has been dropped from the squad, but Varun Chakraborty has been entered. Varun Chakraborty has played T20 International matches for India so far. He had performed very well against England in the T20 series. He played every match and also took wickets. This is the reason why he was declared the best player of the series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana also waiting for ODI debut

Now Varun Chakraborty is waiting for his ODI debut. Apart from him, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana have also not made their ODI debut for India yet. With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, there is very little chance that Yashasvi Jaiswal will be able to make his debut in this series. At the same time, there are Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami in fast bowling. In such a situation, Harshit Rana will also have to wait for his debut. Although BCCI has not said anything yet, but it is believed that Kuldeep Yadav may not be able to play the first match, that is why Varun Chakraborty has been suddenly included in the team. That is, his debut is almost certain.
