Top 5 players to look out for on India A's tour of Australia

#2 Jayant Yadav

Despite playing only five times for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League 2016, Jayant Yadav found a place in not just the Indian squad for the Zimbabwe series about also the India A side. What makes selection surprising is the amount of games he has played so far in the shorter formats.

Although he is 26, he has played just 19 List-A games in his career, 29 T20s but has played 40 first-class matches. While the wickets column don’t make for especially great reading in the shorter formats it is his economy rate that is most striking.

While playing in India is a factor, the fact that he has a List-A economy rate of under 4 and a T20 economy rate of under 6 in his career, speaks about the off-spinner’s prowess with the ball even if he isn’t an out-and-out wicket-taking option.
