Delhi Capitals’ paceman Avesh Khan has earned the reward for a stellar showing in IPL 2021 as BCCI named him one of the standby players for the forthcoming England tour. Avesh Khan, along with Abhimanyu Easwaran, Prasidh Krishna and Arzan Nagwaswalla, will travel along with the 20-man squad for the five-match Test series against England. The 24-year old has promised to give his best if presented with an opportunity.
Avesh Khan fared incredibly well for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 as he took 14 wickets in eight matches, ending the season as the second-highest wicket-taker. The 24-year old did so at 16.50 apiece at a decent economy rate of 7.70.
