Yuvraj Singh calls for young batsmen's inclusion in India's ODI team

Yuvraj Singh emphasized the need for selectors to include Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in India's ODI squad. Speaking at a launch event in Mumbai, Yuvraj expressed concern that the talent of these players is not being utilized in 50-over cricket. He acknowledged the challenge posed by established players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who occupy key batting positions. India is preparing for a five-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting November 4, 2026, without pacer Prasidh Krishna, who is recovering from injury. Mohammed Siraj is set to join India A for the upcoming matches against New Zealand A to gain match practice.
