5 players who should be considered for selection in the 4th and 5th test against England

1. Prithvi Shaw

ECB XI v India A - Tour Match

Shaw first grabbed the limelight in November 2013 when he scored 546 in a Mumbai-based Harris Shield elite division match. Shaw is an opening batsman who is a fine stroke player. He played an important role as a captain in leading India to the title 2018 ICC U19 World Cup. He scored 261 runs across 6 games at an average of 65 in that tournament.

Shaw has a phenomenal record in the first class cricket where he has scored with an average of 60.78. In his last 10 innings, Shaw has scored 4 hundreds. Shaw is scoring runs just for fun now. Shaw has proved that age should not be a hurdle in the selection for the national squad. If Ollie Pope and Sam Curran can play for England in the test at the young age, so why Indian selectors are hesitating in giving the chance to Prithvi Shaw.

Shaw has the hunger for runs. His batting style resembles the great Sachin Tendulkar. His footwork and cut shots could be effective in England. Shaw is an attacking batsman who could score quick runs in the opening. These quick runs could help the middle order to play their natural game. Therefore, Shaw should be given a serious chance by the selectors.
