Additionally, the young pacer Titas Sadhu, who previously featured in India’s U19 T20 World Cup squad, has been named in both the ODI and T20 squads. However, it indicates the selectors’ confidence in his abilities and potential, considering his recent experience at the U19 level.

Overall, it’s an exciting mix of emerging talents who have showcased their skills in domestic and international youth tournaments and now have the chance to make a mark at the highest level in the ODI and T20 formats. The recognition of their performances in premier leagues and youth competitions highlights the growing importance of these platforms in identifying and nurturing talent for the national stage.
