Yashasvi Jaiswal Earns Maiden ODI Call-Up for England Series
In an exciting development for Indian cricket, swashbuckling opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has been selected for the ODI series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy. The 23-year-old cricketer, who has been in red-hot form lately, will join skipper Rohit Sharma and vice-captain Shubman Gill as the third opener in the squad.
Jaiswal’s Stellar Performance
Jaiswal has made headlines with his outstanding performances in recent matches. He was the top run-scorer for India during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, amassing 391 runs in five Tests at an average of 43.44, including a century and two fifties. His consistency in the T20 format is equally impressive, with 723 runs in 23 T20Is at a striking rate of 164.31, featuring five fifties and a century. His remarkable achievements have made his ODI call-up a well-deserved recognition of his talent.
Squad Updates
Alongside Jaiswal, the Indian selectors have also brought back veteran pacer Mohammed Shami and wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, both of whom have recovered from injuries. However, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is unlikely to be fit for the first two ODIs against England, leading to the selection of Harshit Rana as his replacement.
Upcoming Matches
India will face England in three bilateral ODIs scheduled for February 6, 9, and 12, marking their first 50-over games since the tour of Sri Lanka in August last year. The ICC Champions Trophy will commence on February 19, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming matches.
