Team India is slowly finalizing the squad for the ODI World Cup 2023. However, as seen in recent events, good form just before the tournament could help a few players get a spot in the squad. It was this way that Vijay Shankar made it to the 2023 ODI WC. Royal London One-Day Cup & the County Championship will be a good platform for a few players to show their good form. On that note, here, we take a look at three Indians who must play County Cricket to get a chance in Indian ODI Team before the 2023 ODI WC.
1) Deepak Hooda
Deepak Hooda is out of the Indian Team because of his bad form in IPL 2023. However, his profile as a batting all-rounder suits Team India. With the likes of Shreyas Iyer injured, he could get a chance in the Indian Team. In this context, it might not be bad idea for him to get a County deal so that he can get a chance in the Indian Team again.
2) Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar is one of the Indians who must play County Cricket to get a chance in the Indian ODI Team before the 2023 ODI WC. Once seen as the next first-choice swing bowler for Team India, Chahar lost way with injuries. However, after helping CSK win IPL 2023, it is the right time for him to make a move. By picking a few wickets in the County Championship, he could get a chance to at least be a backup in the buildup to the World Cup.
3) Washington Sundar
Sundar’s career has been on-and-off till now. Currently playing in TNPL and Duleep Trophy, an outing in England could help his case. It needs no mention that the Tamil Nadu all-rounder has to perform with both the bat and the ball to get close to the Indian Team, which currently does not have a right-arm off-spin option.
