5 Indian players for whom England tour is crucial

#3 Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey has been off-colour in IPL 2018 thus far

Ever since he scored a sparkling century in Australia to hand over India a famous victory, Manish Pandey has been one of India's biggest prospects in the past few years. However, the man from Karnataka has failed to seize his opportunities on multiple occasions and as a result, has relegated into an irregular feature of India's limited overs squad.

Given his current run in the ongoing IPL, Manish Pandey will certainly have to tie up his shoelaces to justify the selectors' faith in him.

Having been selected in the T20 squad that would face England shortly, Pandey, with a few blistering knocks in South Africa at his back, is perfectly capable of playing some big knocks and turn himself into a vital feature of the team. Also, impressive outings in the T20 outfit could soon earn him a call-up to the ODI squad as well.
