Mayank Yadav Selected for T20I Series Against Bangladesh
Mayank Yadav, a rising fast bowler, has earned his first call-up to the Indian T20I squad for a series against Bangladesh, starting October 6, after recovering from an abdominal strain that sidelined him for five months. His coach, Devender Sharma, emphasized the vital role played by VVS Laxman, head of the National Cricket Academy, in Mayank's rehabilitation, focusing on core strength before returning to bowling. Despite playing only four matches in the IPL 2024, Yadav made a significant impact by consistently clocking speeds exceeding 150 kph and was a standout performer for the Lucknow Super Giants. BCCI was cautious about his return, opting for a thorough recovery process before including him in the squad. As Yadav prepares for his debut, he is expected to accompany other pacers like Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. His coach believes that Yadav is eager to make a strong impression in this series after a challenging recovery period.
