International Debutant
Tbh I have hard time trusting the quality of domestic. Take Gill for example. He hardly inspires any confidence when batting on slow wickets despite being prolific in Ranji.The batting decline is more down to favoritism towards big stars rather than the quality that exists in Indian domestic cricket , a lot can change from now till that England series , especially in a World Cup year where players tend to walk away from international cricket when the tournament concludes.
I mean we will have to try new players regardless since current crop isn’t cutting it. There is also concern about replacing current spinners/ pace bowlers? Do players of Ash/ Jaddu/ Bumrah caliber exist in domestic? It’s time to think about these things since Ashwin is slowly approaching retirement age and I have concern over Jadeja’s long-term fitness.
