Former head coach Ravi Shastri sees young Sai Sudharsan as a completely format dough that deserves to be on the Indian side for the test series against England this year. India will start the New World Test Championship Cycle (2025-2027) with five test series in the UK and will begin with 1-3 defeat against Australia in all eyes and Border-Gavascar tests in the election of the squad following the loss of 0-3 to New Zealand at home. Shastri is currently using a 456 run for Gujarat Titans this season and the second in the list of the highest IPL runners list so far is using a stylish left hand that will be successful in English conditions, considering the technique and district task.
India will begin with the Headingley test planned to start on June 20th.
“I see Sai Sudharsan for all the formats of the game,” Shastri said to the Shastri ICC.
“He looked like a class player and my eyes would definitely be on him. He said.
Shastri added that Shreyas Iyer, who made an enormous run in the white ball cricket and IPL for India, is another player who can be selected for the UK tour but will face a harsh competition.
“He (Shreyas Iyer) (can make a return), but again there will be a contest. White ball, for sure. Test cricket, we have to see who other players are.” He said.
When Jasprit Bumrah and Muhammad Shami returned to the reckoning after the lack of long injury, Shastri said that India's Bowling attack should have a left -sleeved sailor.
“I will look for left growth. I will keep an eye on the left arms in a good form and try to squeeze it there as the sixth (Bowling) option.” He said.
“Everyone can be. Even a white ball expert may be. I don't like this when someone like Arshdeep Singh is a 'white ball expert'.” Shastri said that Arshdeep, a permanent member of the Indian T20i side, has the characteristics of being perfect in the red ball jack.
Shastri, “I will closely follow the red ball record and the number of bowls. If it can cover it at 15-20 sea for me, it may be very good in the mixture, because it has mentality. He is a thinking player and I need to enlarge a left. Only this,” Shastri said Shastri.
“You need to grow the left, go and find it, no matter who and the best-choose them. PTI DDV AM DDV AM AM
