5 Indian Players Whose International Careers Can Be Revamped Under A New Selection Committee. BCCI is set to announce the new batch of selectors next week. The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) are meeting on a date to shortlist the candidates. But with hardly any big names applying for the posts, Chetan Sharma is set to continue in the selection committee.

But with Venkatesh Prasad frontrunner to come in from South Zone, it is unlikely that Chetan would stay on as the chairman. The new selection committee will pick the Indian squad for India vs New Zealand series.

The sacked selection committee led by Chetan Sharma announced the squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series starting January 3, 2023. Hardik Pandya takes the baton from Rohit Sharma in T20Is. However, a decision on the permanent move will only be made when new selectors come in. Hardik Pandya is likely to remain captain till 2024 T20 World Cup. The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Shivam Dube, Rahul Tewatia and Rishi Dhawan’s career can be revamped by new selection committee.

Prithvi Shaw

The national selectors once again neglected to include opening batsman Prithvi Shaw in the ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka. The two squads were revealed by the BCCI on Tuesday, December 27.

He has played only 5 Tests, 6 ODIs, and 1 T20I and has amassed 339 runs averaging 42.37 in Tests and 189 runs averaging 31.5 in ODIs. Prithvi Shaw last played for the national team in July on Sri Lanka 2021 tour and was out for a first-ball duck on his T20I debut (the only T20I he played). He has played 6 ODIs, scoring 189 runs and 5 Tests with 339 runs with one century to his name.

He was the 2nd highest run-getter with 332 runs averaging 36.88 in 10 games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2022-23 at a strike rate of 181.42. With 315 runs, including two hundred and a fifty, he finished third highest run-getter in the Duleep Trophy. The opening batter’s strike rate of 92.92, was the highest in the competition among players who scored more than 21 runs.
