Meanwhile, MSK Prasad, chairman of the selection panel, has assured that Mayank Agarwal’s chance will come sooner than later.
“Mayank Agarwal has been fantastic and has been consistent in the last 10-12 months. He is just a step away and I am sure in due course of time he will get his recognition,” MSK Prasad had said.
“And he did well In all three formats in whatever opportunities he has got in domestic cricket. We will definitely look at it when we rest some of the senior players,” Prasad added.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had announced Indian squad for Asia Cup 2018 last week. Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been rested for the upcoming fixture and his deputy Rohit Sharma will lead the Men-in-Blue in his absence.
