Five Indian players who should be considered for the ODI and T20I series against Australia

Shreyas Iyer

When will Shreyas' time come?

If you consider the last three seasons, there is no one better than Shreyas Iyer when it comes to scoring runs in the Indian domestic circuit. If it was some other country, Shreyas would have cemented his spot in the playing XI by now. But, the Indian team has been having a settled combination in Tests in the last couple of years.

But, in the ODI format, there are few areas that are needed to be addressed. The selectors are willing to try out few options in the build-up to the 2019 World Cup. One name that deserves a chance is Shreyas Iyer. The right-hander is in a good knick and has the ability to bat anywhere in the top four.

His recent 140* against South Africa A helped India A win the triangular series in the rainbow nation. The selectors should take a bold call and give Shreyas a chance in the ODI team, either at the top of the order at the expense of Shikhar Dhawan, who has been playing non-stop cricket since the IPL or at number 4, a slot for which there is a lot of competition.
