Virat Kohli still has many years of cricket left in him, but whether the BCCI sticks with him or gives chances to a younger bunch of players in the upcoming WTC cycle remains to be seen.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is already 36, and there’s not much chance that he will play Test cricket for two more years.
Cheteshwar Pujara has disappointed with his batting show in the last couple of years and could face a sack after his horror display in the WTC 2023 final.
KS Bharat played in the 2023 BGT and WTC 2023 final but failed to impress. He stepped in in Rishabh Pant’s absence, and with him likely to get fit in the coming months, he is unlikely to get a chance again.
Umesh Yadav might have played his last Test for India during the WTC 2023 Final. He is already 35, and it is highly unlikely that he will ever be considered again.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has impressed with his performance in all formats for his domestic side and in the IPL as well, and he is likely to replace Rohit as the opening batter in the future.
Sarfaraz Khan has scored mountains of runs in domestic cricket and is all but set to get rewarded for it in the 2023–25 WTC cycle.
Prasidh Krishna could be a long-term replacement for Ishant Sharma and is most likely to get a chance in the upcoming 2023–25 WTC cycle.
Umran Malik is the fastest bowler India has at its disposal, and since the 2025 WTC Final is scheduled to take place at Lord’s, India can prepare him in the next couple of years.
Arshdeep Singh is a left-arm pacer, which is a rarity in Indian cricket, and because of this, he could also get chances in the next two years.
