Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube joined the Indian squad following impressive IPL 2023 seasons. Jaiswal has made his debuts in each of the game’s three formats, and Dube, who just produced some incredible knocks against Afghanistan, is a strong contender for the 2024 T20 World Cup in June.
According to sources, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dube are expected to win the BCCI contract in the upcoming weeks due to their outstanding 2023 and encouraging 2024 campaigns. Notably, the pair competed for India at the 2023 Asian Games in China and won the gold medal.
Dube was benched after a few opportunities, but Yashasvi Jaiswal has been a consistent member of the national squad.
But in the three-match series against Afghanistan, he took full most of his opportunities, going on to score undefeated 60 and 63 in the opening two Twenty20 internationals.
Officials from the BCCI anticipate that Dube will bowl more in order to qualify for the T20 World Cup. Since the officials are aware of Hardik Pandya’s injury issue, captain Rohit Sharma is giving Dube additional chances to get ready for the major competition.
The administration of the squad and the selectors want Dube to bowl more and more because it really enhances his worth as a player. This is why he is bowling a good bit during this series. If he can chip in with a few overs with the ball, he can secure his spot in the side for the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA. He is the perfect backup to the injury-prone Hardik Pandya, which is why this is important, a dependable source within the BCCI informed Times of India.
Rinku Singh is anticipated to receive a central contract in the meantime. If he maintains his current form, he has proven to be a formidable opponent in the game’s shortest format and might qualify for the T20 World Cup.
