Agarkar, Gambhir handed more back-ups amid Shreyas Iyer's redemption, Gill worried as India squad announcement nears

Hindustan Times  

Two more days remain before Ajit Agarkar and his selection committee set up a meeting to discuss each of their learnings from the opening round of the 2024 Duleep Trophy and subsequently narrow down on a 15-member list for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh later this month. However, on Day 2, Agarkar and new India head coach Gautam Gambhir were handed a few too many back-up options, which could come in handy for the team management with a long Test calendar awaiting over the next three months. Shreyas Iyer's redemption act Shreyas Iyer, aiming for a return to the Indian Test squad since being dropped from the side during the England Test series, did not make a decent comeback to red-ball cricket, which included an appearance in the Buchi Babu tournament and a dismissal for nine off 16 in the opening innings for India D on Day 1 of Duleep Trophy 2024. The former, who snared 55 wickets in the last two Ranji Trophy seasons and has been part of India Emerging and India A squads, picked up a five-wicket haul in the final 15 overs of the day, while Rana, who earned his maiden India call-up earlier this summer in the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, finished with 4 for 33, adding to his overnight figure of 2 for 13. Vijaykumar Vyshak, who was handed a BCCI fast-bowling contract earlier this year, was superb with the new ball, picking two wickets in the opening six overs in India D's second innings.
