With 12 places in the team already sealed, selectors have places for only three more
With 12 places in the team already sealed, selectors have places for only three more, but Arshdeep Singh is the frontrunner to come in. The debate will be on Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will both return to the setup and Deepak Chahar is also set for a comeback.
Selectors’ biggest headache-
The experimentations in the West Indies series have worked and that will be selectors’ biggest headaches. With Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Kuldeep Yadav all putting up dominating performances, selectors will need to pick a 15-member squad carefully.

Virat Kohli is no imminent threat to his No. 3 slot
While Virat Kohli’s form has been the biggest worry for the Indian team, there is no imminent threat to his No- 3 slot. He is set to continue in the same slot. There have been no specific discussions on Kohli’s future in the shortest format.
Even if he doesn’t have a great Asia Cup, his years of experience and match-winning ability will be difficult to ignore for the marquee event in Australia. Deepak Hooda will be the backup No 3 for India. Discussion on KL Rahul: Even though KL Rahul has an assured place at the top, his style of batting and long injury layoff will be the biggest challenge. In fact, Rahul will have to go to the UAE without any match practice.
Rahul has limited his opportunities in the team-
He recently went under the knife in Germany on a sports hernia and the injury forced him to withdraw from the South Africa home series. Rahul also spent time on the treatment table during the England and WestIndies tour, which has limited his opportunities on the team.
