Some of these players have burst forth via a breakthrough IPL season, and some from the long grind of domestic cricket (some, like Harshal Patel are a combination of both). Both are uncapped, while Harshal is in line for selection for Sri Lanka, Avesh is already selected as a reserve bowler in the Test squad. It is a good trend that people have realised that even uncapped players are good enough to take responsibilities of death bowling. “We were the kind of players who actually worked in the bank and played Ranji Trophy. That gap has been bridged by India A and the IPL.”
