If Shubman Gill is available, he might be the one to come back for the T20I series which has five matches starting on December 9. The selection committee will wait for the medical clearance before the final squad is confirmed. Besides the issue of Gill’s fitness, there are new doubts about the other players. There are some hearsays that all rounder Hardik Pandya who has just come back after his quadriceps injury, and was very good at the domestic competition, will be given the opportunity to showcase his white ball talent in the squad. If he is both fit and selected, Pandya’s presence will contribute to the balance of the Indian bowling and batting department before the T20Is. The selectors, meanwhile, seem to be thinking of a mixture of experience and new talent as they prepare for the future tournaments including the T20 World Cup which is subsequently the next cycle.
