IND vs WI 2023: Rinku Singh and Jitesh may get a chance in IND vs WI T20 series. After the second consecutive defeat in the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final 2023), many major changes can be seen in the Indian team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar will be strong contenders to replace these two as the selection committee will look to start grooming the next generation of players for the tough times ahead.
Faces like Rinku Singh, and Jitesh Sharma can also get a place in the T20 series (IND vs WI T20) to be held on this tour.
India will have a month-long tour of the West Indies. The tour will begin with a two-match Test series on July 12.
Under the captaincy of Pandya, the team of young players will enter the field:-
The team will then play a series of three ODIs and five T20 matches, in which a team of young players will field under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Players who perform well in IPL will get a chance in this team.
After suffering a second successive defeat in the WTC final, it is highly likely that the Shiv Sunder Das-led selection committee and head coach Rahul Dravid will look at a few options for the next WTC cycle. Pujara and Umesh haven’t been in touch for a long time.
Devang Gandhi, a former member of the selection committee, told PTI, “You need to strike a balance. Selection and getting dropped is a process.
But you need a mix of youth and experience. In team composition, you have to look at the next two-year cycle with a long-term plan.
He said, “I believe that Yashasvi Jaiswal is ready for international cricket. He has scored double centuries in Ranji, Irani, and Duleep Trophy.
Can be improved by giving it a chance:-
He looks like a strong-minded player. He can be improved further by giving him a chance.
Another BCCI selector expressed his disappointment on the condition of anonymity that there has been no overseas tour by India ‘A’ team after Bangladesh in December last year.
He said, “Look, Umesh is in the dying phase of his career but with the ‘A’ team not touring, you never know who is ready to replace him.
There was a time when we had Mayank Agarwal, Rishabh Pant, Hanuma Vihari, Mohammed Siraj, and Navdeep Saini playing consistently for the ‘A’ team and getting ready for the national team.
The selector said, “Now you don’t know about the players. I see only Mukesh Kumar in fast bowlers but he also does not have much pace and believes in swing.
When will Rahul return from thigh surgery?
It is not clear when Lokesh Rahul will return from thigh surgery and he is no longer in the running for the captaincy of the team.
In such a situation, it will also be interesting to see whether Rohit Sharma will play Test cricket for two more years on the basis of current form and fitness.
He will be 38 years old by the completion of this cycle. In such a situation, questions are also being raised about the claimant of the captaincy of the team.
The former selector said, “The problem with the West Indies tour is that if Pujara scores runs, you will find it difficult to get him out until next year.
The team has to play the next Test in December. In such a situation, if you give a chance to a youth now, then he will be ready for the big challenge of the coming times.

Many experts believe that this is the right time to prepare 23-year-old Shubman Gill for the captaincy role, while some believe that for a short time this responsibility can be given to Ravindra Jadeja, whose place in the team of all three formats. it’s confirmed.
