Shardul Thakur is in good form and might be selected for the England Test Tour. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who might lose their spot if Shardul Thakur is selected for the England Tour.
Shardul will be the fourth pace option and could be named in the squad as a bowling all-rounder. Hence, a few players might have to miss out.
1) Tanush Kotian
Tanush Kotian replaced R Ashwin in the BGT Squad. While Ashwin would have been selected to play in England had he not retired, Tanush might not have that advantage. He could be released from the side to accommodate another bowling all-rounder in the form of Shardul Thakur. Therefore, Tanush is on this list.
2) Sarfaraz Khan might miss the England Tour if Shardul Thakur is in the squad
Sarfaraz Khan is one of the players who might lose their spot if Shardul Thakur is selected for the England Tour. India had a lot of troubles in the batting department in the BGT. Yet, Sarfaraz Khan was not given a game. It means that the management does not have great confidence in him as a batter in the SENA Nations. Since he was an extra batter for the series, he could be dropped to make way for a bowler.
3) Harshit Rana
The Delhi lad did not have a great impact in Australia. With the bat, as well, he could not deliver. In the past, Shardul has done well in this role. Therefore, now that he is back to form, the management will consider bringing Shardul back. Hence, Harshit will have to leave his place.
