5 Indian players who are likely to make their International debut in 2019
The Indian Cricket team is all gearing up for the ICC 2019 World Cup which is commencing in May in England. Till the World Cup ends, the Indian contingent will not look to bring in any new changes to the squad. The probability of Indian domestic stars who can make their debut for the Indian Team in the first half of the year is very less.
Once the World Cup is over, India will be looking to rest their star players and will provide a chance to impressive domestic stars. India will also gear up the ICC T20 World Cup which is happening in 2020.
Here is the list of five Indian players who are likely to make their International debut in 2019.
#1 Rajneesh Gurbani
Rajneesh Gurbani came into the spotlight after an impressive display for Vidarbha in the last Ranji Trophy season. He was the second highest wicket-taker of the tournament taking 39 wickets from just six games. He took three fifers and two 10-fers from his 12 innings.
His spectacular bowling form helped Vidarbha to win their maiden Ranji Trophy title last year. The 25-year-old cricketer has played 11 1st-class matches taking 56 wickets with an impressive average of 19.2.
Gurbani is more like Bhuvneshwar Kumar who relies on swing than the pace. Considering age is on his side, he can improve his speed to compete for a place in the Indian National team.
The Nagpur-born Cricketer has been roped into the Indian A team after his impressive domestic display. With Dravid's guidance, he will only improve as a cricketer. India will be playing a lot of Test matches on Indian soil next year. India's home domination will make the selectors to try few new combinations and Gurbani is right at the top of the list.
