IPL stalwarts can come in Team India
The Indian team has to play the final of the World Test Championship against Australia from June 7 to June 11 at the Oval in London. After that, at the end of June, the team has to leave for the West Indies for a big tour. The team will play Test ODI and T20 on this tour. However, its full schedule has not been revealed yet. Information was also coming to the fore on Thursday evening that the series between India and Afghanistan to be held during this period is under threat. But now in the latest report that has come out, it is being said that Team India can field its youth brigade against Afghanistan.
According to a report in PTI/Bhasha, the senior players of the Indian team will be given rest before the West Indies tour. At the same time, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, the second string team i.e. youth brigade can be fielded against Afghanistan. Significantly, after playing IPL for two months, now the senior 15 players of the team have started leaving for England. Some have already left while some will go after the IPL final on 28th May. Hardik is not a part of the Test team, so he can handle the reins against Afghanistan.
