1. Prasidh Krishna
Team India’s fast bowler Prasidh Krishna has bowled well in domestic cricket. His performance in international cricket has not been special. However, he did not get many opportunities to prove himself. However, Prasidh Krishna was included in the Test series against Australia.

In which he has taken 8 wickets in 8 innings. He has taken 29 wickets in 17 ODIs and 8 wickets in 5 T20 matches. In such a situation, if Mohammed Shami does not retire even after the Champions Trophy, then Krishna’s dream of returning to Team India may be shattered again.
2. Umran Malik
Umran Malik came into Team India based on his fast speed. Umran is just 25 years old. He is known for bowling at a fast pace. He has done the miracle of throwing the fastest ball in IPL. But, as fast as Umran came into the team, he got out of the team just as fast. The reason behind this is that Umran Malik is not able to bowl with the exact line length and due to this, he proves to be very expensive. It is not that he has not got opportunities in Team India.
Malik has been given a chance, but could not capitalize on those opportunities. However, it was expected that after Mohammed Shami, Umran could be given a chance to prove himself again. But given the kind of form Shami is in, it seems difficult that if he changes his decision to retire, then Umran’s dream of returning to Team India may be shattered.
3. Avesh Khan
The third and last name in this list is of fast bowler Avesh Khan. He is doing well in first-class cricket. But, his form goes away as soon as he gets a chance in international cricket. Avesh Khan has played 25 T20 matches for India. In which he could take only 27 wickets.
Talking about his economy during this time, he has conceded runs at an average of about 10. Whereas he has led the Indian team in 8 T20 matches. In which he could take only 8 wickets. His performance in Tests seems difficult. However, after Mohammed Shami retires, he may get a chance to return to Team India. But if this does not happen then Avesh’s dream of returning to Team India again may also be shattered.
