Just within 24 hours of getting selected as one of the reserves players for the Indian Test team for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship Final 2021 and the subsequent series against England, Prasidh Krishna’s tour seems at risk.

This is because the young Karnataka pacer was tested positive with coronavirus, on his return from<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> IPL 2021. </a>It has been reported that his chances of going with the team to England will depend on the fitness which will be assessed before the team leaves.

In case he fails to appear, the Indian selectors might have to replace him with another pacer. In the IPL, he turned up for the Kolkata Knight Riders, captained by 2019 World Cup-winning skipper Eoin Morgan.

Here are the 3 players who can replace Prasidh Krishna as standby player in the WTC Final squad:

The right-arm fast-bowler from West Bengal is an up-and-coming player, who has been on the radar of the Indian selectors. He first came to the forefront when he was a part of the Indian U-19 team which won the 2018 U-19 World Cup under the captaincy of Prithvi Shaw.

Since then, his teammates, like Shaw, Shubman Gill, Shivam Mavi, Riyan Parag, and Kamlesh Nagarkoti have gone on to play in the Indian Premier League, but Porel hasn&#8217;t. Despite being with the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punjab Kings</a> set-up for the past two seasons, the 22-year-old pacer hasn’t been able to make his debut in the tournament.

However, his domestic records have been quite good. In 22 first-class matches, he has picked 61 wickets at an average of 25.75. In List A cricket, he has taken 47 scalps in 30 matches and also has 29 T20 wickets in 19 games.

These numbers are a cumulative effort of his while playing for Bengal and India A. As part of the A-team, he has toured New Zealand as well. On top of this, he was also one of the alternative or reserve bowlers for the tour of Australia late last year. Sadly, the young bowler had to return to India midway due to an injury. Porel may find himself on the plane to England.

The right-arm pacer from Uttar Pradesh, Kartik Tyagi has been touted as one of the better young players who have come through from age-group cricket. He made his first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh, a month before he turned 17, in the 2016-17 season.

He then made his debut in the List A format in the following season. Tyagi was selected to play for the Indian U-19 team which went for the Junior World Cup in early 2020.

At the tournament, this young 20-year-old put up an impressive show with the ball and was one of the shining stars to have come out from the Indian team. This allowed him to get an IPL contract as well.

He played for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rajasthan Royals</a> in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He was deemed as one of the future prospects for Indian cricket. Tyagi was also part of the Indian contingent which toured Australia in the 2020-21 season.

He was one of the reserve players who was there on the tour with the team. Because of his previous stints, he could get a go-ahead to England.

Many eyebrows were raised when Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s name was not there in the Indian Test squad. Some are even speculating that this could be the end of the road of the fast bowler&#8217;s Test career. He hasn&#8217;t played a red-ball match since January 2018 but remains a fine swing bowler who could have been deadly in English conditions.

As a matter of fact, Bhuvneshwar was quite successful in England during the tour in 2014. He scored more than 250 runs and also took 19 wickets because of which he was even awarded the Player of the Series award. In 2018, he missed the tour due to injury and has not come back in the longer format since then.

Injuries, workload management, and pandemic along with the emergence of young pacers like Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur, Kumar fell out of favour in Tests. However, with the latest developments on Krishna, Bhuvneshwar could be picked as a reserve.

But, it will be interesting to see if the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-announce-india-squad-for-wtc-final-and-five-match-series-against-england/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCCI</a> picks such a senior member as a reserve player. The presence of India’s entire pace attack could be one of the reasons why Kumar was kept out.
