Mayank Yadav, the elite pacer, won a ton of accolades for his three-for against Punjab Kings earlier in the season. In his second match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, he added three more, and before long, the 22-year-old was the talk of the town. Many former cricket players were amazed by Mayank’s speed, and he was predicted to be India’s next major bowling star.
But after just four games, the pacer’s side discomfort forced him to miss the IPL 2024. From that point on, BCCI managed his injuries and brought him to the National Cricket Academy, where physiotherapists and physicians collaborated to assist him regain maximum health. Although the officials did not want to take a chance on him playing red-ball cricket, he was likely to be included in the Duleep Trophy.
He is now training at a unique camp with players like Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, and Hardik Pandya, and he is 100% fit as of right now. The goal is to overcome the rustiness, and a special camp is planned for that very reason. According to reports, the young player is also part of the plans for the forthcoming five-match Twenty20 International series against Bangladesh. For the same reason, he is training among the potential India players for the series.
“Mayank hasn’t reported experiencing any pain in the previous several weeks. He’s giving the NCA his all when he bowls. The selectors want to know if he’s prepared for playing cricket internationally. For the T20Is against Bangladesh, the selectors are eager to try out fresh players due to the arduous Test season that lies ahead. Pandya hasn’t participated in any competitive cricket matches in almost a month. The Times of India was informed by a BCCI insider that even Abhishek needs some excellent practice.
