Mumbai: The Indian cricket team is ready for the final of the World Test Championship even though it is three months away. The BCCI has approached the England Cricket Board for a three-day warm-up match before the final against Australia. Meanwhile, K.S., the wicketkeeper for India in the Test series against Australia. It is reported that BCCI is not interested in playing India in the World Test Championship. Instead, K.L. A national media reported that the plan is to make Rahul the keeper in the Tests.
K.S.’s remarkable batting performance in the series against Australia. Not from India. Therefore, the BCCI is of the opinion that the player should not be fielded in an important match like the World Test Championship. KL Rahul is yet to become a wicket keeper in Test cricket. Young wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will not recover from injury by the time of the final in June. It is in this situation that Rahul is given the keeper’s duty.
Rahul, who struggled to find form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia, was played only in the first two Tests. Shubman Gill, who came into the team in the last Tests, has performed brilliantly, and it is certain that the player will play in the Test Championship final at the Oval as well. BCCI’s plan is to replace the injured Shreyas Iyer with Suryakumar Yadav.
Former Indian players Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravi Shastri had earlier demanded that Rahul should be made the keeper in the World Test Championship final. Ravi Shastri’s suggestion is that young star Shubman Gill should be the opener along with captain Rohit Sharma at the Oval and Rahul should come out to bat at number five. The BCCI selection committee headed by Shivsundar Das will announce the squad for the final next month.
