These two will offer a tremendous balance to the back-up team. They are proven match-winners both with the bat and with the ball and would like to use their IPL experience to get into the senior squad.

India will also have other options such as Axar Patel and Vijay Shankar if needed. However, this duo will be the preferred option.


#5 Fast Bowlers: Deepak Chahar, Siddarth Kaul and Umesh Yadav

While Chahar and Kaul have been recent entrants into the Indian squad, Umesh Yadav's pace and experience will be a useful backup to the team. Chahar's swing will be of use on green pitches. Siddharth Kaul has proved himself as a good death bowler.

There are others like Mohammed Shami and Khaleel Ahmed who would also like to be part of this setup.
