5 players who could replace Axar Patel for the upcoming ODI series against England

Abdullah has been performing well at the first class level

#2 Shahbaz Nadeem

Nadeem has been extremely consistent

This 27-year-old from Jharkhand is one of the few bowlers who has picked up 50 or more wickets in two consecutive Ranji Trophy seasons by achieving the feat last year and this year. His match-winning performance against Haryana in the quarter-finals took Jharkhand to the semifinals of the prestigious tournament and took him to the top of the leading wicket takers list.

Despite consistently performing well at the first-class level, he has not got a chance to make his debut for the Indian team just yet. In 80 first-class matches for Jharkhand, he has taken 296 wickets at an average of 28.96.
