All-rounder Ayush Badoni has been named the captain of the side, which also includes India internationals Tilak Varma, Riyan Parag, Ravi Bishnoi, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mayank Yadav.
Earlier, I used to only bat, but since the last two years, I have been focusing a lot on my bowling. I always feel like I can take wickets, and contribute to the team with my bowling, so I got the benefit of being an all-rounder. I have bowled a lot for Delhi and got wickets, so I have benefitted from it.
Interesting to see Badoni’s selection. It’s clear he is being groomed for the role with the India A selection too. Filled with immense promise...
