5 players who should be included in India's T20I squad to face Australia

#2 Basil Thampi

This 24 year old from Kerala made a mark for himself in the Inter-Zonal T20 tournament earlier this year with some exemplary bowling. He was bagged by the Gujarat Lions in the IPL auction this year and was an integral part of their squad.

He picked up only eleven wickets in twelve matches at an economy rate over 9 but was way better than what the numbers suggest. He ended up with the Emerging Player of the Season award.

He was picked in India A's squad which travelled to South Africa and was praised for his bowling performances throughout the tournament.

India might already have an exceptional fast bowling unit, but Thampi could be the perfect investment for the Men in Blue.
