According to sources, the Indian selectors are keen to try some of the rising stars of the IPL in both South Africa and Ireland T20 series.
On the other hand, some other senior players including Virat Kohli will be rested.
Umran Malik and Prithvi Shaw will be on the radar of the selectors and these players are likely to be included in the squad for both the series.
Abhishek Sharma is another name that will be watched closely in the next few matches.
Only after that, it will be decided whether they will play further matches or not. Hardik Pandya will also make a comeback in the Indian line-up.
VC KL Rahul and the team’s leading batsman Virat Kohli:-
India Squad SA Series: A point that is being hotly debated is whether captain Rohit Sharma, vice-captain KL Rahul and the team’s leading batsman Virat Kohli are right for India as the top 3 names going into the T20 World Cup. Are there options?
All 3 batsmen are known for their ability to settle down first and then strike. Scores of big runs are running away from India and MI captain Rohit Sharma for a long time.
Rohit will certainly look to deliver better performance of 155 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 123. On the other hand, Kohli’s poor form has also continued for a long time.
216 runs in 11 matches at a low strike rate of 116 is neither an indication of the former captain’s quality nor his caliber.
KL Rahul is playing the role of a good captain and opener for Lucknow Super Giants. He has scored 451 runs at an average of 145.
Team India selection for 5 T20 International matches:-
Team India’s selection for 15 T20 Internationals will be a big responsibility for captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid.
In the IPL, three experienced players of India did not perform much in the powerplay i.e. the first six overs.
KL Rahul: In 10 matches so far, Rahul has played 55 dots in the powerplay overs and scored a total of 141 runs off 126 balls. His strike rate is just 111.90. He has hit 15 fours and four sixes in those games in the powerplay overs.
Rohit Sharma: During this period, Rohit Sharma has played 56 dots in the powerplay overs in 9 matches, scoring 136 runs in 104 balls at a strike rate of 130.76.
MSK Prasad told PTI, “If fit, these three players are amazing. There is no such thing that you can leave any of them for the World T20.
The First is his T20 Century:-
But yes, if I look at the numbers, I can try someone like Shikhar Dhawan in the opening slot and see KL Rahul at No. He has a T20 century in the middle order in Manchester a few years back.”
India Squad SA Series: “But yes, I want Virat to take an important break and come back fresh before the Asia Cup,” Prasad said.

Commenting on the selection, the BCCI officials said, “Look, we don’t interfere in the matters of selection.
The selectors will have to take a call on Virat and other players. We cannot give them our verdict. Obviously, Virat Kohli will also be worried about his form, what is happening to him?
