Yashasvi Jaiswal, a 21-year-old left-handed batter, has been rewarded with his maiden India Test call-up after impressing selectors with his excellent form in first-class cricket. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a 16-member squad for the two-match Test series against the West Indies in July. Jaiswal has an incredible batting average of 80.21 in first-class cricket, making him a formidable addition to the India lineup.
The talented young player shared his excitement about his selection on Twitter, saying, It’s just the beginning…thankyou everyone for your support and blessings. @BCCI.
Jaiswal is one of three new faces included in the Test side for the first time, with the other two being off-spinner Jayant Yadav and pacer Avesh Khan. The series against the West Indies will take place in the Caribbean islands, with the first match scheduled for July 12 in Dominica, followed by the second match at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain (Trinidad).
The West Indies team, currently ranked at number eight in the rankings, will be a formidable challenge for India. It will be interesting to see how Jaiswal performs on the international stage and whether he can live up to the high expectations of his fans and selectors.
Jaiswal’s inclusion in the Test squad is a testament to his impressive performance in domestic cricket and his potential to excel at the highest level. With India’s Test team undergoing a phase of transition, Jaiswal’s selection is a step towards building a strong and competitive team for the future.
In conclusion, Jaiswal’s success is just the beginning of what could be a promising future in international cricket. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his performance in the upcoming Test series against the West Indies and will be hoping for an impressive debut from the young talent.
