Who makes way for Bumrah & Harshal?

Right through the 25-minute press conference on Saturday, Team India head coach Rahul Dravid maintained that he intended to play the best playing XI even as captain Rohit Sharma has been insisting that experimentation would continue in the ongoing Asia Cup.

While the batting order looks more or settled, it's the bowling combination that needs to be worked on. For Dravid, Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel will walk in once they are available for selection. In this scenario, Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan are likely to be in the line of fire. On Sunday against Pakistan, Avesh didn't turn up at the stadium. He was reported to be feeling feverish on the eve of the match. He was asked to get more rest in the hotel.

India decided to go with an extra spinner in Ravi Bishnoi. Avesh, who has evolved as a steady T20 bowler over the last two IPLs, has struggled to find his radar in the international arena.
