Round Shardul Thakur is one of the players who was absent on the Indian test side. In particular, Thakur played his last match in 2023 against South Africa in Centurion, but recently returned with great performances in domestic cricket and IPL this season.
Thakur was one of the best interpreters in Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, and he is among the highest counters for the super giants of Lucknow (LSG) of the IPL. The versatile rhythm-body took 35 counters and scored 505 points for Mumbai in the red ball tournament, as well as 12 counters in nine games for the Lucknow franchise in the T20 League.
According to Cricbuzz, these performances led the 33 -year -old cricket player to make a long -awaited 18 -month return to the Indian Test Squad. This would be another opportunity for Thakur to highlight its capacities in England, which traditionally helps runners with good seam and a rebound.
In particular, the last time Thakur played in England was in 2021, where he participated in three games, taking eight counters and scoring 122 points, including two half-century. The series ended with a 2-2 draw.
The inclusion of Shreyas Iyer seems doubtful
While Shardul ThakurThe chances of cricket test are promising, the prospects of his Mumbai Shreyas Iyer teammate always seem very thin. Iyer also delivered great performance in the domestic circuit and performed well in the IPL for the kings of Punjab (PBKS). However, the abundance of talents within the team could make it difficult for him to enter the side.
Iyer has done a lot of domestic crickets in the past 15 months and has improved his game against short -term bowling alley. However, his chances for the tour against England depend on the news surrounding Virat Kohli, who could consider retreat from the five -day format.
