5 players who should have been picked for T20I squad

Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep just hasn't been able to make the cut in T20Is despite an impressive track record

Despite being a consistent performer in the IPL for an inconsistent side, Sandeep Sharma has failed to add to his two T20I appearances for India, that came against Zimbabwe in 2015.

While the 24-year-old has never been particularly quick, he has all the necessary skills required to be a successful T20 bowler. Slower balls, yorkers, variations and bouncers, you name it, the right-arm pacer from Punjab has it all. And he has consistently been among the wickets as well.

Since his appearance for India in 2015, he has picked up 32 wickets in the next two editions of the IPL. Among Indian bowlers, only Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal have picked up more. While all three are in the T20I squad, Sandeep has found himself on the sidelines once again.

With age still on his side, he will be hoping that his opportunity to showcase his skills in the format, comes up, sooner rather than later.
