India is scheduled to face West Indies in an ODI and T20I series at home next month. The IND vs WI ODI series will commence on February 6 with the 1st encounter. The T20I series will be played after the ODI series. A total of 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is will be played during the West Indies tour of India 2022.

An 18-member squad has been named by BCCI for the T20I series against West Indies, which will be led by Rohit Sharma. Many senior players as well as young players are part of the T20I squad. Here we talk about 3 underserving Indian players who made it to the T20I squad in the IND vs WI series.

IND vs WI: 3 Undeserving Indian Players Who Made It To The T20I Squad

3. Ravi Bishnoi

Ravi Bishnoi is the first player on this list. Although Ravi Bishnoi is an emerging spin bowler for India, he does not have any experience in international games. He gave a good show in IPL 2021, picking 12 wickets in 9 games for Punjab Kings.

However, the right-arm spinner still has very little experience in IPL with 23 games so far. Someone like Kuldeep Yadav, Rahul Chahar, or Varun Chakravarthy could have been roped in as a spinner in the IND vs WI T20I series ahead of Bishnoi.

2. Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is another player on this list. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has faced poor form for a long time. The right-arm pacer performed poorly during IPL 2021 and ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He also failed to get any wicket during the first two games of the IND vs SA ODI series.

As a result, he is not part of the IND vs WI ODI series. Kumar should have been rested for the IND vs WI T20I series as well so that he could regain his bowling strength.

Venkatesh Iyer is another player on this list. The right-handed batsman has been picked as an all-rounder in the IND vs WI T20I series. Iyer did not impress with his performance during the IND vs SA ODI series, where he failed to come up with a big knock in all three games.

Hence, he should be given rest for some time. Washington Sundar and Axar Patel were enough as all-rounders in the absence of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Due to Iyer’s selection, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar might have to warm the bench.
