Five players who should be on the waiting list of the Indian team

3. Mayank Markande

Mayank Markande is another leg-spinner who has the potential to be a match-winner.

Mayank Markande has played one T20I for India against Australia earlier this year. He had a good debut but wasn’t picked for the next game. he is another wrist-spinner who had a good IPL season in 2018 for Mumbai Indians, but had a more subdued 2019 season. Wrist-spinners have always done well in the shortest format and especially against the West Indies who are traditionally weak against them. It’s, thus, surprising that only one wrist-spinner has been picked in the shortest format against West Indies.

Markande is young and has a bright future ahead of him. He surprised many last year with his control and variations. He had a dream debut against Chennai Super Kings as he picked up three wickets including the big one of MS Dhoni.

He has been fairly successful at the domestic level and it would have been a good time to test the youngster in overseas conditions. He is currently playing for India A in the four-day game and would definitely be eager perform in the longest format as well. He might not be selected at the moment he would definitely be on the waiting list for the selectors.
