LSG Pace Duo Could Earn India Call-Up for Afghanistan Series
The Indian Premier League has given an opportunity to various pacers to prove themselves. Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan are likely to get their maiden callup for the Indian team against Afghanistan. As the selectors assess Siraj and Bumrah’s workload, they are likely to be a part of the series.
In the next few weeks, we would be watching India going against Afghanistan in a Test match and three ODI match series. Since the Indian team is having a tight schedule in the coming few months, the selectors are also working hard to assess the workload of key players such as Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah.
Noting the Tests and ODIs India will be playing in the next few months against teams such as England and Sri Lanka, it is necessary for the key bowlers to be there. And to fill in their spot, the selectors have eyed two LSG pacers who could make it to the Indian team in the ODI series against Afghanistan.
And these bowlers are none other than the duo of Prince Yadav and Mohsin Khan. Both of them have impressed the selectors and fans to a great extent, noting their bowling performances for Lucknow Super Giants. If they are picked for the series against Afghanistan, they will be eager to prove their worth for the 2027 World Cup.
Our Take
Since India is having a tight schedule over the next few months, it should be noted that several players would receive an opportunity to play. But for Mohsin Khan and Prince Yadav, it comes as a bright opportunity, noting the fact that they have done well in the Indian Premier League. Moreover, the BCCI will also be looking for some replacements, as Bumrah and Siraj would also require another pacer to accompany them in the 50-over format.
