Varun Chakaravarthy Joins India’s ODI Squad Ahead of England Series
In an exciting development for cricket fans, spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has joined the Indian ODI squad in Nagpur for a short camp ahead of the highly anticipated series against England starting February 6. Known for his exceptional performances in T20Is, Varun’s inclusion has sparked interest, particularly as he is yet to make his ODI debut.
Varun’s recent form has been nothing short of stellar. He took 14 wickets in five T20I matches against England, showcasing his ability to dominate the opposition with a remarkable five-wicket haul in the third T20I in Rajkot. As the Indian team prepares for the ODIs, his presence in the camp raises questions about whether he will feature in the upcoming fixtures.
The Path to ODI Selection
At 33 years old, Varun has played 23 List A games for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket, with his most recent performance being a fifer against Rajasthan in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His consistent performances have made a strong case for his inclusion in the national squad, a sentiment echoed by former Indian spinner R Ashwin, who has advocated for Varun’s selection in the Champions Trophy squad.
Ashwin expressed optimism about Varun’s chances, stating, “I have a feeling he might get picked. There is a chance because all teams have named only a provisional squad.” His insights highlight the potential for Varun to play a pivotal role in India’s bowling attack against England.
India’s ODI Squad for England Series
The Indian squad for the ODI series includes notable players such as Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Shami, among others. As the team gears up for the challenge, fans are eager to see if Varun will seize this opportunity and make an impact on the international stage.
