5 Players Who Can Replace Umesh Yadav In India’s Test Squad Ahead Of Next WTC Cycle

India lost the ICC World Test Championship final to Australia by 209 runs. Pacer Umesh Yadav could not execute a magnificent show. The right-arm pacer went wicketless in the 1st innings and clinched 2 scalps in the 2nd innings. However, with India’s loss in WTC final 2023, Umesh Yadav might face the wrath of selectors and might be overlooked for the next WTC cycle.

Umesh Yadav will turn 36 years old this year and there are no doubts the selectors will go ahead with a comparatively young pacer in the Test squad for next WTC cycle. A few Indian pacers have done amazing work in domestic leagues and international games too. Here we take a glance at 5 players who can replace Umesh Yadav in India’s Test squad ahead of next WTC cycle.

5. Umran Malik

Umran Malik is the first player who can replace Umesh Yadav in the Test squad ahead of the next WTC cycle. The speedster, who can consistently bowl at 150 kmph plus speed, can be a good addition in the longest format.

Recently, Umran Malik was a member of the Test squad that battled against Australia in the Test series. Hence, selectors are already interested to try the Hyderabad pacer in the whites and he can lead the pace attack for India in red-ball cricket in the next WTC cycle.
