5 players who should have been picked for T20I squad

Rishabh Pant

Pant failed to make the cut for India's third T20I series after featuring in the first two

Much like Suresh Raina, another players the selectors have been sending mixed signals about has been Rishabh Pant. On the one hand, MSK Prasad said that Pant is "one talent to watch out for the future." He also added: "We all know Rishabh Pant more as a Twenty20 player, so we will look at him in that format also."

However, despite these words, Pant, who enjoyed a decent IPL and a good start to his T20I career has been dropped for the solitary T20I against Sri Lanka after being picked for the first two T20I series of the year, against England and West Indies.

While the 19-year-old didn't have the greatest run in the recently-concluded A-team tri-series that India A won in South Africa, that was in List-A and it is hard to hold that against a promising young player who has already shown signs of being ready for the international stage.
