Players will have a golden opportunity to woo the selectors

Let us tell you that there will be a golden opportunity to woo the selectors by performing well in the upcoming Irani Cup. After the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, the Indian cricket team is scheduled to host New Zealand in a three-match home Test series. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility of the selectors keeping a close eye on the players who have performed brilliantly in first class cricket tournaments like Irani Cup.

However, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel and Yash Dayal are likely to be selected for the home Test series against New Zealand. But in the presence of Jurel Rishabh Pant, he will be selected in the team only as his replacement.
