Ishan Kishan enters the Duleep Trophy, and Sarfaraz Khan will give 'test' for the second time.
Ishan Kishan has entered the Duleep Trophy. He is participating for India C, captained by Rituraj Gaikwad. In the first round, he could not play against India D due to injury. On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan has also got a place in the playing XI of India B. In the second round, he will once again appear for the exam in Anantapur. In the first round, he scored 9 runs in one innings and 46 in the second. After this, he got a place in the 16-player squad against Bangladesh, but sources have said that there is little hope of him playing in the playing XI. Therefore, despite being selected in the team, he has to play in the Duleep Trophy, while the rest of the players are going to gather in the camp to be held in Chennai from September 13.
Ishan Kishan has a chance
Ishan Kishan has been out of the team for almost a year. Citing indiscipline, the BCCI also took away his central contract. Since then, he has been struggling to make a comeback in the team. The board has advised him to play in domestic tournaments to regain his place in the team. That is why he first participated in the Buchi tournament, where he led his team to victory with a brilliant century.
However, despite being selected in the Duleep Trophy, he could not play the first match. But now he is fine and is playing against India B in the second round in Anantapur. Many players who performed well in the first round have got a place in the Test team. In such a situation, if Kishan also shows excellence in wicketkeeping and batting, then the door of the team can open for him too.
Sarfaraz Khan's second test
Sarfaraz Khan had cleared the first test of the Duleep Trophy, but perhaps there was some shortcoming. Therefore, despite being selected for the squad, the board has asked him to play in the second match to be held from 12 to 15 September. Captain Rohit Sharma and the team's new head coach Gautam Gambhir prefer KL Rahul in his place.
Both of them do not want to take any risk before the World Test Championship. Therefore, giving advantage to Rahul's experience, it has been decided to play him before Sarfaraz in the team. The Indian team is going to start preparing for the Bangladesh Test series. The team camp will be held from 13 September to 18 September, in which all the selected players will be present. Sarfaraz will be seen playing in the Duleep Trophy.
