4 players who could be considered in Indian squad for Test against Afghanistan

#2 Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer will look to replicate his success at the domestic level at the international level too

Another youngster who has been knocking on the doors of the selectors is 23-year-old Shreyas Iyer from Mumbai.

While Iyer was a part of the Indian ODI and T20I squads last season, he is yet to make his debut at the elite level. The right-handed middle-order batsman has tasted success in ODI cricket where he averages 42 in 6 innings with 2 half centuries.

Iyer has been prolific in domestic cricket. The 2015-2016 Ranji season saw the rise of the youngster from Mumbai, as he scored 1321 runs in 18 innings at an average of 73.38, with 4 centuries and 7 half centuries. He even had a double century to his credit that season. The 2015-2016 Ranji season was followed by another high scoring campaign as he scored 725 runs at an average of 42.64.

If the Test regulars are not a part of the squad, Iyer should be considered for the middle order. He has got the temperament to play a big innings in Test cricket and succeed at the international level.
