Team India / This player is trying to get into India's T20 team, hasn't been getting a chance for a year

Team India: The Indian cricket team is currently on a rest period after finishing its Test series against England. Now the team's next target is the Asia Cup, which will be played in T20 format. Discussions have intensified regarding team selection, and some potential names are coming out. However, the final announcement of the BCCI selection committee is awaited. Meanwhile, uncertainty remains over the place of young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's place in danger?

According to sources, it may be difficult to include Yashasvi Jaiswal in the team for the Asia Cup. Jaiswal made his T20 International debut in August 2023 and has played a total of 23 T20 Internationals till July 2024. During this, he scored 723 runs, including one century and five half-centuries. He has an average of 36.15 and a strike rate of 164.31. Despite this, his chances of returning to the T20 team seem low. He is a regular in Test cricket, but has only one ODI match experience so far.

Tough competition in opening

The biggest challenge in Jaiswal's path is the existing contenders for the opening position. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill's names are almost certain, while Sanju Samson is also emerging as the third opener. In such a situation, it may be difficult for Jaiswal to make a place. In the presence of three strong openers, the selection committee may keep Jaiswal out, because there is no special benefit of his presence.

Final decision pending

However, all this is still speculation. The picture will be completely clear only after the official announcement of the BCCI selection committee. Will Jaiswal be able to make his place in the Asia Cup this time, or will he have to wait? This question is in the mind of all cricket lovers.
