Great Performance in England Series! These Two Indian Youngsters Could Earn Asia Cup Call-Up

After the retirement of big players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, young star Shubman Gill has given new hope to the Indian Test team. He played very well in the recent series against England. But Shubman is not the only one.

Another young talent, Yashasvi Jaiswal, also impressed as an opener in the same series. Both players have shown their talent on English soil.

Now, they may get rewarded for their good performance. According to a report by India Today, these two Indian cricketers might get a chance to play in the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be in the T20 format. The board is likely to give big roles to both batsmen based on their strong performance.

Will Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal Play in the Asia Cup?

According to reports, the Test series against West Indies will start soon after the Asia Cup. Shubman Gill’s new Indian team must be fully ready for that series. But before that, some strong players of Team India may play in the Asia Cup. Sources say that the board wants to bring Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal into the T20 format to keep them in good form before the West Indies Test series.

But this could create a problem. Shubman might not get the rest he needs after the England series. A source in the board said that the Indian Test players will get five weeks of rest after the England series. But if Shubman plays in the Asia Cup, his rest may get affected. This also raises questions about Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma’s place in the team. Sources also say that Sai Sudharsan may get a chance in the Asia Cup squad. The selectors may face many tough decisions during the team selection.

When Will India Announce the Asia Cup Squad?

As per the Asian Cricket Council, the Asia Cup will start on September 9 and end on September 28. India’s first match is against the United Arab Emirates on September 10. After that, India is set to play Pakistan on September 14. However, it is still not clear whether India will actually play against Pakistan.

The Indian team for the Asia Cup is expected to be announced in the third week of this month.
