After a long time, Ishant Kishan can finally get a chance to make a comeback for team India. BCCI has showed trust on the attacking batter and wicketkeeper. Now, fans are curious to know the exact date to witness his comeback in international stage.
Ishan Kishan set to make a comeback
The Indian team has been announced for the two-Test series against South Africa, starting November 14th. Along with this squad, the selectors have also announced the India A squad. India A and South Africa A will play three unofficial ODIs starting November 13th. Ishan Kishan has also been included in the India A squad for this series.
Ishan Kishan has been out of the Indian team for a long time. This presents an opportunity for him to prove himself and secure a place in the main squad for India A. Kishan last played for Team India two years ago. He has been consistently performing well in domestic cricket to secure a return to Team India. Therefore, it is expected that he will seize the opportunity for India A. Tilak Varma has been named captain for the three-match ODI series against South Africa A. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been named vice-captain. Veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have not been included in this squad.
There was earlier speculation that these two players might be asked to play for India A for the ODI series against South Africa, but the selectors have not done so. Harshit Rana was also included in this squad. It is clear that he could be selected for the ODI series against South Africa. However, he has not been included in the Test squad. He is currently touring Australia with Team India.
