How India's T20 squad will look in the absence of Test players

#7 Parvez Rasool

Rasool is a useful batsman and bowler

The Kashmir all-rounder is a good T20 player, and in the absence of Ashwin, Jadeja, and Mishra, should shoulder a large chunk of bowling responsibilities in the mid overs. Rasool has good flight and has a bag of tricks with his off-spinners that can make him a difficult proposition to deal with in T20s.

He is also handy with the bat and can play the spinning all-rounder's role to perfection. Rasool has played just one T20 for India, against England in the first T20 of the recent series. He has 28 wickets from 38 domestic T20s with a best of 3/17.

#8 Yuzvendra Chahal

The RCB leggie was spectacular in the last IPL and rightly earned a place in the T20 squad for the England series. He opened the bowling in the second T20 against England, although he might be more successful as a wicket-taking option in the middle overs.

Wrist spinners are becoming more and more important in limited overs cricket and Chahal could be a valuable addition to this imaginary T20 XI. Chahal produced a spectacular display of leg-spin bowling in the series decider against England, taking 6/25, the third best figures in T20 cricket.
