The assistant coach of the Indian cricket team Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed giving chances to youngsters Harshit Rana, Tilak Varma, and others to prove their worth in the final game of the T20I series against Bangladesh in Hyderabad.
The Indian team won the first two matches where new faces like Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy got to feature in the playing XI. Nitish performed brilliantly in the second game while Mayank had a great time with the ball.
“Yeah, that was always the plan. Obviously, there’s nice depth in the squad, and a lot of guys have got IPL experience. We try to expose as many guys as we can to international experience with what we’ve got coming up. So someone like Harshit Rana we’re keen to give a game to. Obviously, Tilak came into the squad a bit later,” Ryan said in the pre-match press conference.
