West Indies vs India 2019: 5 youngsters to watch out for

#4 Navdeep Saini

Navdeep Saini

Navdeep Saini can clock speeds of 150-152 kph consistently and is one of the fastest Indian bowlers set to feature in this tour. The 26-year-old was the second-highest wicket-taker for India A in the recent 5-match unofficial ODI series that was conducted in West Indies and will bank on the familiarity with the conditions to make an impact.

Prior to his selection, Saini picked up 11 wickets in 13 matches during IPL 2019 and was a bright spot in RCB’s disappointing campaign. One can expect Virat Kohli to play Saini as a trump card and with the pacer gifted with the ability to trouble the best of batsmen with his pace, he will be an X-factor for India.

#3 Shreyas Iyer

India would try to fit Shreyas Iyer into the playing XI in the middle order as it would be a suitable position for the youngster. The 24-year-old will learn a lot in international cricket while batting along with experienced batsmen like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

With over 2500 runs in domestic T20s, Iyer is a player to watch out for especially in the T20I series. This opportunity might well be an early audition by the management for the T20 World Cup 2020, and Iyer will certainly give his best to land a spot in the squad for the global tournament next year.
