It was at a very young age that Team India trusted the great Sachin Tendulkar. Similarly, even Virat Kohli had an early debut. The message is that if you see a generational talent in someone, it might, as well, make sense to have the player get along at the highest level at the earliest. There is a new management in place and they could have a vision for the future. Someone needs to be accountable beyond the stints of all the management. It is here that the call needs to be taken on grooming some youngsters. Here, we take a look at the list of two Under-21 cricketers who could be fast-tracked into the Indian Team.
1) Musheer Khan
He is just 19 but Musheer Khan has already played some clutch knocks in his career till now. Be it for Mumbai or in the recent Duleep Trophy, it is actually shocking that a teenager is able to pull off such knocks. He is sure to reach the highest level.
Musheer is also versatile as he can bat across multiple slots. The bowler in him is improving, as well. With time, he could be unstoppable. There are plenty of attributes in him which make him an exciting cricketer. BCCI could see a star in him and hence, they could consider already including him in the side.
2) Aaqib Khan
Aaqib Khan is one of the Under-21 cricketers who could be fast-tracked into the Indian Team. The former India U19 cricketer has done well in Duleep Trophy 2024. He troubled the best of batters in the tournament.
The 20-year-old is a fine talent and has all the makings of a proper Test pacer in the future. Therefore, the Indian management could consider having him on the side at least as a reserve player in the upcoming tournaments.
