On Friday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unveiled the 16-member squad that will play against England in the upcoming five-match Test series, commencing on January 25 in Hyderabad.
Leading the charge will be Rohit Sharma, who will guide a talented team that includes a notable addition – 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel.
Jurel, a cricketer hailing from Uttar Pradesh and a key player for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, has received his maiden call-up to the Indian squad. Jurel's inclusion reflects his stellar performance in the IPL 2023 as well as his continued excellence in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024, where he has showcased his skills.
The right-hander's remarkable journey to the Indian team gained further momentum when he was chosen over Ishan Kishan. Rajasthan, quick to celebrate Jurel's achievement, shared an image of him donning the Test match kit, capturing the essence of this milestone in his career.
Responding to the Royals' post, teammate Riyan Parag expressed his joy with a heartwarming comment that has since gone viral, stating, "Mera ladka ban gaya INDIA ab rok ke dikhao koi @dhruvjurel21."
With 790 runs in 15 matches and a batting average of 46.47, coupled with 34 catches, he brings a valuable skill set to the squad. However, it is worth noting that, despite his inclusion, the young talent is unlikely to feature in the playing XI for the initial two Tests.
The squad also features seasoned wicketkeeper-batters KL Rahul and KS Bharat, who hold a higher position in the pecking order. Despite the competition, the young-gun's call-up marks a significant milestone in his cricketing journey, and fans are eagerly anticipating his future contributions to the Indian team.
