On Wednesday BCCI announced Team India’s squad for upcoming T20 and ODI series. And young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was rewarded with a maiden India call-up for the upcoming T20 series against the West Indies.

Bishnoi had impressed one and all with his bowling for the Punjab Kings in the IPL 2020 and continued his performance for the franchise in the IPL 2021 as well. This was a well-earned reward for his consistency with the ball. India try out different combination, especially with wrist-spinners. Notably India had great success with wrist spinners but from the white-ball series against England at home, the famous Kul-Cha pair was dropped after a string of poor performances.

While, senior wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav also returned to the white ball set up after a knee surgery. “Kuldeep Yadav is making a comeback and Ravi Bishnoi is the new face in the team for West Indies series. The team will be led by Rohit Sharma,” a senior BCCI source told.

Meanwhile, Bishnoi was also announced as the third draft pick for the new Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants with a Rs 4 crore contract for IPL 2022. After getting picked for the national squad for the upcoming home series against West Indies, Bishnoi recalled how Anil Kumble helped him along the way.
