Mayank Agarwal, KL Rahul
Mayank Agarwal was India’s leading opener at the World Test Championship. But after Mayank’s defeat in the series against Australia, Gill was tested with Rohit. Gill later opened the final against the Kiwis. Mayang is one of the team’s replacements for Gill. Another is KL Rahul. But he is more interested in getting Rahul down in the middle order than in the opener.

Prithviraj moves to bring down Shah
Prithviraj Shah is all set to return as India’s Test opener, overtaking Mayank and Rahul. The team management is planning to bring Shah to England as soon as possible. Shah Vijay Hazare, who has done poorly in New Zealand and Australia, has made a formidable comeback in the Trophy and IPL.

Shah is in excellent form
The BCCI hopes that Shah, who has a great record in local cricket, will be brought to England. Some technical shortcomings in the batting caused the Shah to stumble overseas tours. But the player has now overcome all those shortcomings. India will play five Tests against England. If Mayank and Rohit have to withdraw from any match together, India will have no choice in the current situation. With this, Prithviraj is moving the reins for Shay.
