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

#1 Yuzvendra Chahal

Chahal, who has tasted success in limited overs cricket, will look to replicate his performance at the Test level too

Chahal, unlike other cricketers, does not have a very successful record at the domestic level and in 42 First Class innings, the 27-year-old leg-spinner has picked up just 70 wickets at an average of 33.90.

However, considering his success at the ODI and T20 levels, the time is not that far off before Chahal is handed his debut Test cap. The leggie has picked up 43 wickets in ODIs at an average of 21.83 and 35 T20 international wickets at an average of 18.45.

Leg-spinners are of vital importance in any form of cricket and considering the success of Chahal in the shorter formats, the selectors might consider giving him his debut against Afghanistan in Bengaluru.

Ashwin and Jadeja, the regular spinners of the Indian Test team, have struggled to pick up wickets in Tests outside the subcontinent and the management will be tempted to draft Chahal into the squad for the Test series against England as a backup spinner.
