Young wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Rahul Tewatia were on Saturday named in India’s 19-man squad for the five-match T20 series against England. Suryakumar Yadav finally breaks into the team after consistent performances for Mumbai in domestic cricket as well as Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Kishan, who also plays Mumbai Indians, has been been in red hot form in white-ball cricket and has been rewarded and will be second stumper in the side along with Rishabh Pant.
Haryana’s Tewatia too made the cut after a memorable IPL. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Manish Pandey have been dropped while pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been rested.
The T20 series will be played in Ahmedabad from March 12.
