Irfan Pathan Urges More Opportunities for Yashasvi Jaiswal Before 2027 World Cup
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan emphasized the importance of giving backup opener Yashasvi Jaiswal regular playing opportunities in the upcoming three-match ODI series against the West Indies. With key players absent due to the Asian Games, Pathan highlighted this series as a chance to test bench strength ahead of the 2027 World Cup in South Africa. Jaiswal, who has played six ODIs with two centuries, is seen as a potential replacement for Rohit Sharma, though the team currently supports Sharma's continued role.
