Shubman Gill : India vice-captain Shubman Gill is among the key players who will be rested for the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh beginning October 7 as part of the BCCI’s workload management policy. Gill, India’s No.3 in Tests, is a key member of the top order alongside Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, and is likely to play in all ten Tests this season. Aside from Gill, a few other key players will be rested in preparation for the three-match Test series against New Zealand.
India international season will begin with a two-Test series against Bangladesh in Chennai on September 19, followed by a second match in Kanpur on September 27.
Shubman Gill may get rest during Bangladesh T20 series
“Yes, Shubman will relax all through the Bangladesh Twenty twenty Internationally Series. The three T20Is are set for October 7 (Gwalior), 10 (Delhi), and 13 (Hyderabad), according to the calendar. The first Test against New Zealand is currently scheduled for the 16th of October.
“With a 3 -day turnaround times it is important to offer Gill a break,” a BCCI official told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
Gill has played 21 T20Is and has a hundred and three fifties, as well as a strike rate of around 140. He was recently named captain of India’s five-match series against Zimbabwe in Harare, which India won 4-1.
In the current season, T20Is are the Indian team’s least important priority, with World Test Championship points and a five-match series against Australia coming first.
Also, ODIs will be essential because the Champions Trophy will be played in that format in February and March. The majority of the Test team members are expected to rest for the twenty-20 internationals against Bangladesh.
While Rohit, Virat, and Ravindra Jadeja have retired from the shortest format, pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will also be rested based on workload management guidelines.
It will be fascinating to see if Rishabh Pant plays T20Is, given his workload is important to selectors and he is required in longer forms.
Also, ODIs will be essential because a Champions Trophy will be played in that format in February-March. The majority of the Test team members are unlikely to face Bangladesh in T20Is.
While Rohit, Virat, and Ravindra Jadeja have retired from the shortest format, pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will also be rested to meet workload management rules. It will be interesting to see if Rishabh Pant plays T20Is, given his workload is important to selectors and he is needed in longer categories.
According to reports, the majority of the Test team players are unlikely to face Najmul Hossain Shanto & Co., which means pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj would be rested to meet workload management rules.
However, it will be fascinating to observe if Rishabh Pant is also rested for the three-match series. Pant is likely to play all ten red-ball matches for India. His workload is crucial to selectors, and he is required in extended forms.
If Pant is rested, Ishan Kishan may be reconsidered after spending nine months of the year in the foreign wilderness.
Ishan will return?
Ishan Kishan’s fortunes may turn around after a contentious start to the year. The young wicketkeeper-batsman sparked controversy when he made himself unavailable for national selection late last year, and his subsequent absence from Jharkhand’s squad cost him a spot in the BCCI’s central contracts. The action appeared to have jeopardised his international cricket prospects.
However, Ishan has taken major steps to rectify the situation.In the current season, he returned to the domestic circuit, representing Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu Invitational. His hard work paid off when he returned to play for India C in the Duleep Trophy, striking an incredible century in the second round.
According to the report, Rishabh Pant may be rested for the T20I series as well, which might put Ishan in contention.
