One of the big reasons for Jharkhand to make it through to the semifinals of the Ranji Trophy, Shahbaz Nadeem should consider himself unlucky to not find a berth in the 16-man squad.

The left-arm spinner bagged a haul of 56 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 25.60 and was a key performer for his side in their extremely run to the final four stage of the competition.

With India in all probability to pick the trio of Ashwin, Jadeja and Mishra for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Nadeem will hope that a good IPL performance earn him a berth for India’s Champions Trophy side in June.
