The 23-year-old made his twenty-over debut against Ireland and has emerged as the third fast-bowling all-round option for India behind Hardik Pandya Nitish Kumar Reddy in the pecking order.Recently, the youngster replaced Hardik Pandya in the India A squad for the Australia A series, where he impressed the selectors. Shedge scored 79 runs in 3 innings, including a 66-run knock in the 3rd unofficial ODI. With the ball, Shedge took 5 wickets, including a four-wicket haul in the 1st match. Hence, the selectors are impressed with his all-round display and want him prepared in Indian colours before the ODI World Cup 2027, given Hardik Pandya and Nitish Kumar Reddy’s fitness issues.ALSO READBCCI Forms New Committee To Prevent Arunachal Pradesh From Forfeiting MatchesIndia ODI Squad Selection DelayedAt present, the BCCI has announced just the T20I squad for New Zealand series and the Test, ODI squad is yet to come out.
