BHUVNESHWAR KUMAR

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is most likely to make it to the Sri Lanka tour as he was overlooked for the Indian team’s Test tour of the United Kingdom. The right-handed pacer has battled injuries and niggles of the late and has fallen down the ladder in the Test scheme of things of BCCI.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar rubbishes report of him not wanting to play Test cricket

The Uttar Pradesh pacer has captaincy experience in both domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has led Uttar Pradesh in limited-overs domestic cricket most recently and also led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL as well when David Warner was unavailable and Kane Williamson was injured.

Though he has relatively less experience as a captain, having a bowling captain is a boon for any team and he has previous experience of playing in Sri Lanka as well, where he scored his only ODI half-century as well.
