Avesh Khan has just played an amazing innings in the Duleep Trophy.

 

He came in to bat at No.10 with his team needing 73 runs to get a first innings lead and tottering with 9 wickets down.

 

He scored 64 off 56 balls with 7 sixes and got his team the crucial lead.

 

I hope his potential as a quick bowler, who can bat somewhat, is realized and he gets ample chances for our A-team

seems to be a rare breed of indian bowler: a fast (genuine quick) bowler who can bat. either we have trundlers who bat (like deepak chahar) or genuine quicks who don't know what a bat looks like (bumrah/shami).

Baffled not to see gopal again

 

Not sure if gowtham is a long format prospect, i find him a better loi prospect

 

Good to see tushar Deshpande, kuldeep yadav, nair n avesh khan

 

 

 

gopal should be given as many opportunities as possible along with rahul chahar. the latter is more talented but the former has a lot of experience and is a much better batsman as of now.

Jalaj Saxena called up to India A as cover for K Gowtham

 

Kerala allrounder Jalaj Saxena has been added to the India A squad for the first four-day match against South Africa A, starting on Monday in Thiruvananthapuram.

Saxena comes in as a near like-for-like cover for another bowling allrounder K Gowtham, who is unwell and being monitored by the medical staff. Gowtham had been in excellent bowling form, finishing as the third-highest wicket-taker while representing India A in the four-dayers on the tour of the West Indies in August.

Saxena, an offspinner like Gowtham, impressed in his only outing with the ball in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy, where he sent down 72 overs for a match haul of 7 for 162 for India Blue. However, with the bat, he only managed 19 runs in two innings across two matches, as his side failed to make the final.

He was picked for India A after nearly six years when they hosted England Lions in February this year, marking his return with an impressive bowling performance that saw him finish as the second-highest wicket-taker behind Navdeep Saini.

Saxena is also the only player apart from Anil Kumble to have picked up 16 wickets in a Ranji Trophy match, and the only one to have scored a hundred and picked up an eight-wicket haul in the same match twice. Overall, he has played six matches for India A in a first-class career spanning nearly 14 years. In those six appearances, he has taken 23 wickets at an average of 25.69 and scored 152 runs, averaging just over 30.

Having represented Madhya Pradesh for a decade, Saxena switched to Kerala in 2016-17, and finished as the highest wicket-taker in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy
