Life is undoubtedly a series of natural and spontaneous changes and it is fair enough to say that change is the only constant. After the heart-wrenching defeat in the semi-final of the World Cup 2019 which was India’s to take, the time has come for the team to start focusing on the next edition in 2023.

The current stalwarts of the team will be on the wrong side of the thirties by the time the mega-event begins. Four years? It seems to be too far to plan, but we know how fast time flies and this four-year phase to the cup could be the perfect time to get out the bench strength warmed up.

With the next World Cup taking place in the country, Team India will need to build an army that can exceed the expectations of the fanatics who cheer them on. There is a need to blood the youngsters into the team now so that they are ready to face the challenges that will be thrown at them in ’23. With the majority of the current team moving past their prime by then, here’s a list of 5 India ‘A’ players who can be a part of the 2023 Indian World Cup setup.

5 India A players who can be part of the Indian team in the 2023 World Cup:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stats-shubman-gill-joins-rare-lists-with-an-unbeaten-200-for-india-a/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Shubman Gill</strong></a> has displayed his versatility by fitting into almost all positions – be it an opener or a middle-order batsman – he has delivered in the U19 and India ‘A’ team. From playing in the shadows of Prithvi Shaw to being recognized as the Emerging player at IPL 2019, he has grabbed all opportunities provided to him with both hands and showcased his potential.

The 19-year-old teenager from Punjab has consistently shown his appetite for huge scores across all formats. From an unbeaten double century in his Under-16 state debut for Punjab to the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, U19 World Cup, 2019 IPL and recent India ‘A’ tours; he has shown an extraordinary consistency with the bat. Over a period of time, he has become an asset for his side and can potentially be groomed as the next opener / no. 3 for India.

Gill’s determination, patience, and his level of discipline promise him a career that should serve the senior team in the times to come. If he manages to maintain his fine form, he is a sure shot contender to make it to the playing 11 for the Men in Blue in the 2023 World Cup.

The biggest chink in India’s batting armoury has been the No. 4 spot. Many players have been tried and most of them have spectacularly failed. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/if-shreyas-iyer-bats-at-four-it-will-allow-pant-to-play-aggressively-zaheer-khan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Shreyas Iyer</strong></a> is an attacking top-order batsman and a player with the temperament who can hopefully fill in this critical spot for Team India. His flawless classical strokes and drives alongside his brute power and power-hitting style of play have been a common visual to spectators of domestic cricket for a long time now.

The right-handed Mumbaikar has proved his mettle and is currently among India’s most consistent domestic performers. Iyer has had a great domestic season in 2017 and 2018 topping the run charts for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. He followed this with a great IPL where he not only scored consistently but also led the Delhi Capitals to their first playoff spot since 2012.

His performance in 2019 in West Indies for India A team scoring 187 runs averaging at 62.33 for India A  got him into the spotlight and he was rewarded with a team India cap again. Iyer hasn’t been able to book his seat in the Indian team regularly but it is now time to groom him into the role of holding the brittle Indian middle order together.

It is important to have a backup keeper for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kuldeep-yadav-and-rishabh-pant-practice-in-the-hotel-corridor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rishabh Pant</strong></a>, similar to the role that Dinesh Karthik played for MS Dhoni this year in the World Cup. The player who could fill in this spot could be the explosive Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batsman, Ishan Kishan. In 2015, he went on to captain India for the 2016 Under-19 World Cup. His oozing demeanor and on-field attitude makes him one of the rising stars of Indian cricket.

He has played a pivotal role in the Jharkhand Ranji team for nearly half a decade now. In a 2016-17 Ranji Trophy match, Ishan scored a mammoth 273 inclusive of the highest number of sixes hit by any batsman in an innings in the tournament. He later entered the history books to become the player with the highest score by any batsman for Jharkhand.

His exploiting form found consistency in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 making him the highest run-getter for Jharkhand. Subsequently, Kishan was named in the India C squad for the 2018-19 Deodhar Trophy and helped the team to win their maiden title. The flamboyant batsman didn’t manage to get going in this year’s IPL edition. Nevertheless, if Kishan maintains his hard-hitting abilities and contributes impressively behind the wickets then pairing him up with Pant in the Indian setup, can prove to be lethal.

Ever since the era of Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and Ashish Nehra came to an end, India hasn’t been blessed with the left-arm pace bowler. The closest it came was to Barinder Sran who lasted a mere eight international matches. Thankfully, it lasted only until 2018, when Khaleel Ahmed debuted for India.

The wiry left-handed pacer kickstarted his international career in Asia Cup last year. His lightning fast-bowling action helped him enter the limelight followed up with a call-up to feature in the U19 squad for the 2016 World Cup. Much after this, he was picked by the IPL franchise Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). The 2017-18 season also saw him debut in all three formats for his state team.

Khaleel could have been the third seam bowler for India in the World Cup 2019 but was backed up as a net bowler for the team after the late success of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-rescues-mohammed-shami-after-seamers-initial-us-visa-rejection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mohammed Shami</strong></a> with the white ball. With regularly performing and featuring in the India ‘A’ squad, he could well be back into the Indian team on a regular basis and could potentially play a vital role in the 2023 World Cup to be held in India.

A bowler who is on par with the Indian bowling attack with regards to the new ball swing is unsurprisingly, the 28-year-old, Deepak Chahar. Having finished as the third-highest wicket-taker in this year’s IPL edition, Chahar has established himself as a fine new-ball bowler and gained the spotlight in the cash-rich league.

The Rajasthan fast bowler was the top wicket-taker in the 2017/18 Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament with 19 wickets in nine games. He also starred for India A against England Lions in the 50-over format. After experiencing the sweet taste of success, he was soon called up for the ODI and T20 series in 2018 but played just one game each in both formats.

With recent praises by the Indian captain himself following his impressive form against West Indies and consistent performances in the domestic circuit as well as the IPL, the right-handed bowler could become a regular feature in the national team in the coming years and be a part of the Indian bowling unit in the 2023 WC.

<p>The wiry left-handed pacer kickstarted his international career in Asia Cup last year. His lightning fast-bowling action helped him enter the limelight followed up with a call-up to feature in the U19 squad for the 2016 World Cup. Much after this, he was picked by the IPL franchise Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals). The 2017-18 season also saw him debut in all three formats for his state team.</p>
<p>Khaleel could have been the third seam bowler for India in the World Cup 2019 but was backed up as a net bowler for the team after the late success of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-rescues-mohammed-shami-after-seamers-initial-us-visa-rejection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Mohammed Shami</strong></a> with the white ball. With regularly performing and featuring in the India ‘A’ squad, he could well be back into the Indian team on a regular basis and could potentially play a vital role in the 2023 World Cup to be held in India.</p>

<p>A bowler who is on par with the Indian bowling attack with regards to the new ball swing is unsurprisingly, the 28-year-old, Deepak Chahar. Having finished as the third-highest wicket-taker in this year’s IPL edition, Chahar has established himself as a fine new-ball bowler and gained the spotlight in the cash-rich league.</p>
<p>The Rajasthan fast bowler was the top wicket-taker in the 2017/18 Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament with 19 wickets in nine games. He also starred for India A against England Lions in the 50-over format. After experiencing the sweet taste of success, he was soon called up for the ODI and T20 series in 2018 but played just one game each in both formats.</p>
<p>With recent praises by the Indian captain himself following his impressive form against West Indies and consistent performances in the domestic circuit as well as the IPL, the right-handed bowler could become a regular feature in the national team in the coming years and be a part of the Indian bowling unit in the 2023 WC.</p>

These players need to be groomed so that they can potentially play a pivotal role in the 2023 World Cup for India.
