5 India A players who can make it into the Test team

#2 Manish Pandey

Can he continue his impressive run in the longer version?

There is little doubt that Manish Pandey has talent, and he has given enough evidence of it in limited overs format. He is definitely someone who is now part of the plans for the Indian National team in white ball cricket. However, the longer version is where he has to prove his worth.

He does have the game to be successful as the average of 50.37 in first class cricket showcases. Will he be able to make the jump to a much higher level, well this tour to Australia will have the answers. Pandey is an attacking batsman, one who can take the game away from the opposition through his stroke play, thus he can be suited to the number 6 position in Test Matches, a slot which is still up for grabs. Hence, this A tour can be a golden opportunity for him to stake his claim for the main team.
