His personal coach opened up on the recent development.
Indian pace sensation Mayank Yadav, who was expected to be part of the India squad that will travel to Australia for the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy was missing from the recent 18-member squad announced for the series.
After making his international debut in the series against Bangladesh, Mayank Yadav had his performances closely monitored by the BCCI and was poised to join India’s squad for the Australia tour as a travelling reserve. Unfortunately, the young player was once again sidelined due to injury.
However, it has now been known that Mayank did not face a fresh injury but the Indian management has plans to use the speedster later.
Mayank’s personal coach, Devendra Sharma, came forward and talked about Mayank’s recent development.
Mayank Yadav sidelined for extended period
Speaking to The Telegraph, Devendra Sharma revealed, “It’s not that Mayank (currently at the BCCI Centre of Excellence on the outskirts of Bengaluru) has sustained a fresh injury, but he has been advised not to play now as they’re looking to have him back for the England ODIs (in January 2025)”.
Mayank’s prospects appeared promising following his India debut in the recent T20I series against Bangladesh, after which he was chosen as a travelling reserve for the current Test series against New Zealand. The coaching staff of Team India has been closely observing his red-ball bowling, and he was also seen as a likely candidate for the T20I tour of South Africa scheduled for next month.
