Jitesh Sharma will get a chance in West Indies series: The Indian cricket team will go on a West Indies tour next month to play two Tests, three ODIs and five T20 matches. From July 12, a two-match Test series will be played between India and West Indies. Wriddhiman Saha is not in Team India’s plan. In such a situation, only KS Bharat can handle the wicketkeeping in the Test series, but a new face can be seen in the T20 series.
Let us tell you that the T20 series between India and West Indies will start from 4th August. It is being claimed in many reports that KL Rahul will not be a part of Team India in this series as well. On the other hand, Ishaan Kishan is not fully fit and is undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy. In such a situation, T20 captain Hardik Pandya can give a chance to a new face in the T20 series.
