New innings

Suryakumar Yadav will lead India squad in the T20I series against Bangladesh.  Uncapped pacer Mayank Yadav is new addition to the squad, while pacer Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are the other uncapped players in the squad. This is indeed a great opportunity for young Indian players to cement their position. I would love to see Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag,  Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakaravarthy in this series. Let's see how they all perform against Bangladesh.  All are extremely talented players and they have exhibited their special talent in domestic circuit and Indian Premier Leage (IPL). I really appreciate Indian selector for providing opportunity to all performers. This will encourage younger players also to give their best and work hard. 

The way Indian cricket has evolved in few years deserve full praise. I see players are coming from different states of India and this is the real success. This means BCCI is working hard on the ground level and picking up talents from everywhere. This is why Team India is doing extremely well and has no dearth of talent. So many batters, bowlers, all-rounders and wicket-keepers are sitting on the bench and waiting to knock at the door of Indian cricket team. I love the culture senior players have created in the team for younger generation.
